Work Experience

I’m passionate about learning new things and creating work that people can enjoy using and viewing. In my 13 years of work as a designer, I was responsible for gradually taking all of Musica’s design work in-house at a time when it was being outsourced to Jupiter Drawing Room. When I moved on after four years, all of their design work was done in-house – by me, mainly. After my time at Musica, I decided to go freelance, working for companies like Sprout PR, Clicks and UCT.

Professionally, I would say I’m known for meeting and exceeding client expectations, as well as a very clean and neat design style. Now I spend more time on designing websites and have become deeply interested in UI. I love interpreting clients’ ideas and creating a visual solution, and I hope to be remembered as someone who helps others. I’m a family man, and gaming in my spare time, and I probably couldn’t live without my mountain bike!

When I’m not working

  • Spending time with the family and seeing my kids grow up.
  • Spending time outdoors on my mountain bike.
  • Playing PS4.
