ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I've created branding, digital, print, and motion design for clients including FNB, Ashburton Investments, RMB Private Bank, Belgotex, and Growthpoint Properties.
At Brandrenew, I develop campaign ideas, video content, motion graphics, visual identities, animated pitch decks, and branded videos that align with client goals. I streamlined production time by 15% and improved project turnaround by 25%.
Through freelance work for The Urban Writers and self-employed clients, I've produced bespoke book covers, integrated campaigns, motion graphics, and multimedia content from brief through final delivery. I maintained a 95% on-time delivery record while building long-term repeat-client relationships.
I bring more than 10 years of design and concept experience, combining strong visual detail with audience-focused creative solutions under tight deadlines.
