What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to build brand systems, conversion-led digital experiences, campaigns, and lifecycle work from concept through delivery, with room to create interactive prototypes and complete case studies.

I've created identity, packaging, UI/UX, campaign, and lifecycle work for projects including The Spring, Sonke Gender Justice, Cyrène, Woke, and Pretty Girls Klub.

For The Spring, I designed a lifecycle fundraising system spanning a homepage modal, donation page, four audience segments, a branched journey, and four emails to convert high-intent supporters into recurring members. I also rebuilt Sonke Gender Justice's homepage around clearer hierarchy, accessibility, emotional storytelling, and a stronger donate and get-involved flow.

I take projects from brief through system, design, and delivery, using Figma, Framer, HTML, Adobe Creative Suite, Blender, and Unreal Engine to create work people can click, use, and remember.
