    I am a highly experienced and creative designer with an intuitive understanding of clients needs. I have the ability to work across mediums, identify problems and correct design issues under tight deadlines. In addition to this, I have in-depth knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Vector Illustrations, Typography and Photoshop. I strive to stay abreast of design best practices and the latest trends.For the last eight years I have worked for myself where no two days are ever the same. At work I enjoy taking ownership of the design role, and am capable of managing projects from initial design concept right through to the final product.

    I trained as a Clothes Designer but soon moved on to Graphic Design. After a stint at an Advertising Agency, I moved on to Independent Newspapers, Promotions Department. I stayed with Independent for many years and it taught me to meet tight deadlines, while the variety of work prepared me to meet any challenge with equanimity.Working for myself has opened up a whole new set of challenges and wonderful clients to work with.As a creative person, I'm continuously inspired by new trends and concepts. I live in a town that is visually spectacular, from a view of the majestic Table Mountain just outside my window to beautiful beaches, wine farms, markets and music. We have a hugely diverse population with unique styles of speaking, dressing and presenting themselves that never fails to add something special to my day.
