What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my design and marketing skills while contributing to innovative campaigns and brand growth.

I am a qualified and experienced Senior Graphic Designer and Marketing Communications Manager with almost 15 years of combined traditional and digital marketing experience. I successfully grew the brand SA Bulk Bales from a start-up to a recognized market competitor, achieving a social media following of over 90,000 organic followers during my tenure. My dedication to quality and execution earned me the Keyrus Excellence award within my first year of employment.

Currently, I am enrolled in an Advanced Digital Marketing course, which has further enhanced my expertise and insights in the field. My adaptability and passion for the industry enable me to coordinate various marketing functions dynamically, both individually and as part of a team. I am committed to staying updated with the latest trends and technologies to ensure the success of the brands I work with.
