What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can contribute to innovative design solutions and grow my skills.

I'm a passionate Ui/Ux Designer with a strong focus on creating effective user experiences complemented by intuitive user interfaces. My journey began with a BTech Degree in Graphic Design & Communications from the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, where I honed my skills in design thinking and visual communication.

Currently, I work at Pro:Direct Sport, where I collaborate with a small team to maintain and enhance the PDS website and app. My role involves designing various UI components that significantly improve user interactions. I stay updated on industry trends to ensure our designs align with the brand's vision. Previously, I gained valuable experience at Semantica Digital and Bridgewater Learning, where I developed my skills in responsive design and agile methodologies, creating impactful marketing collateral and online learning courses.
