Senior designer based in Ekurhuleni, GP — ten years of building visual systems for digital and print across logistics, retail tech, and community-facing brands.
Comfortable in the Adobe stack, fluent in WordPress & Elementor, confident from typesetting up to user experience research. I work closely with engineers and app teams so the design intent stays intact through to ship.
If something needs to look right and feel right — that's where I come in.

A repeatable rhythm — listen, sketch, refine, ship.
Listen
Briefs, business goals, and the unsaid bits.
Research
Audience, competitors, references, constraints.
Sketch
Three directions — fast, on paper or screen.
Refine
Iterate with feedback. Type, grid, color, motion.
Build
Production-ready files, components, or live site.
Ship
Hand-off, QA, and a tidy handover doc.
The stack —
battle-tested.
A working set, not a wishlist. Each is something I've shipped real work with — drag the rail to skim.
