Bio
Gandy T. Gandidzanwa
Knowing the reliance that I place on referrals, I have made it a policy not to jump into writing nice referral letters purely out of the excitement of once-off engagements. I tend to be quite selective and may be a bit too much at times in so doing. Having worked with Sasha on one of my most important career projects, I consider it only proper, that I openly express my admiration of her work ethics, attention to detail, creativity and out-of-the-box approach to crafting messages and designs that resonate well with specific targeted audiences. Brand strategy development is a fine art and requires a spirited focus on the intended brand personality that one wishes to communicate and be identified with. I found Sasha, not only to have the talent to craft great messages and designs, but also to have the ability to skillfully articulate her imaginative mind so powerfully in ways that get teams to converge on her themes to which they then constructively add their own ideas – a feat that is not always that easy in the marketing-and-branding team environments. Would definitely recommend Sasha to anyone looking to developing a brand of their own or enhancing the one they already have.

Sasha is multi-skilled, hardworking and determined to achieve no matter what the challenge. She does not give up trying, innovating and persisting even when it appears the project is all but over. The tenacity and calm demeanour is great to have in a team.
