    I was initially brought on as a freelance designer to primarily assist with 3D design work for one of our (then) biggest clients, Philips. However, I proved myself to be a versatile multi-disciplinary designer and have stayed on with the company ever since.In my role, I have been responsible for conceptualizing, designing, managing projects, providing creative direction, 3D modeling, video editing, and website design. My creative expertise has allowed me to work with numerous small and large clients, ensuring that each project receives the same level of attention to detail they deserve.My conceptual design skills have played a vital role in attracting new clients and growing our business. For example, my work on the CTICC's annual report impressed Table Mountain Aerial Cableway so much that they approached our company to handle their annual report, website rebuild, and promotional work. This successful project opened doors for us to work with other high-profile clients and contributed to the overall growth of our business.

    At Samahnzi, we pushed the boundaries of innovation by developing custom game-based training simulators and immersive process animations for power plants around the world. As a multi-disciplinary designer, I played a key role in bringing these cutting-edge solutions to life.My work involved creating stunning graphics, designing visually engaging training simulations, and developing process animations of various power plant sections, all while maintaining a high level of attention to detail. I leveraged my expertise in 3ds Max and After Effects to craft realistic and immersive environments that helped power plant operators learn and grow.In addition to my design work, I also trained and mentored three junior designers at Samahnzi, helping to develop their skills and guide their potential future roles or involvement in the company. While I didn't directly bring in new clients, I was proud to be part of a team that delivered top-quality solutions to our clients. My key responsibilities included graphic design, video editing, 3D modeling, and animation.
