I create high-impact branding, digital, print, and motion design.
What 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.
