Graphic design

Considered visual communication across print and digital. From campaign layouts to collateral, designed to work hard in the real world, not just look good in a mockup.

Packaging

Packaging design that earns its place on a shelf. Form, material, and message working together rather than competing with each other.

Visual Identity

Logo design and visual identity systems built to last. Marks that work at every scale, in every context, and still feel right five years from now.

About me

What I do

I help brands connect with their audience. I'm happiest when I'm surrounded by good people, loud music, and a brief worth losing sleep over.

My background

Originally from South Africa, I've spent eleven years designing for performance sport and lifestyle brands across Europe. Most recently in-house at EF Pro Cycling, and Trek Bicycle before that.

My approach

I start every project with a conversation,not a brief. The more I understand about your world, the better the design solution.
