I'm John Walsh, a creative professional based in Cape Town, South Africa, with over 28 years of experience in graphic design and advertising. I hold a degree in Graphic Design from the Johannesburg School of Art. My career highlights include directing the impactful "Consent is Sexy" campaign, supported by organizations like the Ford Foundation and Oxfam Novib, which addresses sexual rights awareness globally. I've had the privilege of working with notable brands such as Volkswagen and Johnson & Johnson, and I've contributed to significant national campaigns, including the first democratic elections in South Africa. My skills encompass communications strategy, corporate identity, campaign design, and workshop design, all of which I leverage to create meaningful and effective visual narratives.
