    • Green Point, Cape Town

    I started SHC in the beginning of my freelance career and since conception SHC has gained several private clients and lent a hand to larger agencies in dealing with overflow work. Under the SHC name I have gained a few years of digital design experience, I've stretched my conceptual legs, I have added many projects to my portfolio that I am proud of, and I have plenty all-nighters under my belt. Being a freelancer, I have seen many projects through right from beginning to end, gaining a bit of experience handling the client service and production portion of projects. At SHC I have done projects in branding, print design, outdoor media, digital design and event design.

During my time at Aqua I participated in several gruelling pitches including one for Showmax and another for Investec - both of which Aqua was successful in winning some or all of the work.
