What I'm looking for

I am looking for work in either the branding or marketing roles, where I can work either within a team or alone to create brand strategy, assets and collateral to drive forward the visual direction of an organisation. I also aim to work within spaces such as tech, retail, D2C or PR as I want to be exposed to new tools, platforms and skills that will advance my career going forward.

I am a self-taught graphic designer with 5+ years of experience creating diverse visual designs using digital tools and principles gathered from both experience and my time in the Legal field. I have made and maintained web platforms for the promotion of African artists using WordPress while building a client base for work including visual presentations, logos and branded design for key clients in the corporate sector, as well as social marketing materials for small businesses and individuals that saw these clients gain new business and bolster their social media presence.

I have branding design design experience working with clients in the D2C Marketing sector, social media management and design, retail, tech (startups), hospitality, corporate and SMME sectors, which gives me the distinct ability to be able to conceptualise based on a broad and diverse range of demographics and target markets.

I am self-taught in Digital Marketing and have obtained certifications from Google for Digital Marketing and advanced Google Analytics. I am looking to expand my knowledge in these fields to challenge myself with a company where I can offer constant growth, learning and creativity.
