Message

At Obsidian Collective, formerly Dinepe Visions, I create video content, photography, and promotional media for businesses and individuals. I founded the creative practice in 2020 and rebranded it to provide multimedia production, branding, and digital solutions.

I design logos, brand identities, and marketing materials, and develop responsive websites using AI-assisted platforms such as Loveable. I also edit video and create motion graphics with Adobe Creative Cloud.

At Durban University of Technology, I collaborated on multimedia productions and department projects, producing video, photography, and digital media. I completed a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Video Technology in May 2025.
