I am a passionate graphic designer, photographer & architect based in Cape Town, South Africa. I have a diverse skill set allowing me to work in multiple areas of my field though I am especially fond of design. I am able to create traditional & new creative solutions for any communicational issue. I love to design clean, smart & effective to inspire people. I am a logical thinker, imaginative yet decisive. Always willing to accept new challenges. I am a hard worker with strong ambitions, diligently striving to better myself in matters of the design world.
I'm an effective web designer with focus on usability, functionality, interactivity, responsiveness & visual appeal.
“Any design is like a joke. If you have to explain it, it’s not that good.”
