What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a Sales & IT opportunity where I can solve practical problems, learn new systems, and contribute my client-facing, creative, and technology-driven experience to a team.

I've delivered commercial photography and video for Apple iStore, Vodacom, African Bank, HearX/Bose, CTM, PNA, and other major brands, while photographing more than 450 weddings and running a full-time studio in Pretoria.

I also design and teach photography workshops, mentor creatives globally, and speak at events including TEDxPretoria. I enjoy solving practical problems—from building photorealistic 3D composites to using AI to create invoicing and data-backup tools for my business.
