    I moved to Draft FCB to gain more experience in corporate design at a larger advertising agency. I was employed as a senior designer and worked under the guidance of the highly respected creative director, Paul Carstens.Here I headed many of my own projects for larger corporate firms and was heavily involved in the new packaging concept 'look and feel' for Woolworths foods. I would once again use the knowledge and inspiration gained at this advertising agency to build my company Creating a Storm that same year.

  M&A Design

  • Gardens, Cape Town

  • Designer

    • Jan 2005 - Jan 2007
    • Gardens, Cape Town

    I worked as a designer at the packaging and design studio M&A Design as soon as I finished college. I began as a junior designer and worked my way up to mid-level designer, heading many of my own projects. By working on many of South Africa's top brands, including Woolworth's, Nik Naks', Bakers Biscuits and Appetiser to name but a few, I gained invaluable experiences specifically in the area of packaging design. This would shape my own company in the years to come.
