Graphic designer in branding campaigns and visual identity with 5+ years of agency and freelance experience.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Graphic Designer with 5+ years of experience leading the design and execution of high-impact brand campaigns across digital, social, retail, and print channels. I build modern, elevated, and culturally connected visual identities that translate campaign concepts into commercially effective creative.
In my current role at Hive Group, I deliver concept-to-delivery design and manage end-to-end creative production. I delivered 50+ print and digital design assets for McDonald’s South Africa and owned creative direction from sign-off through final delivery, driving a 70% increase in brand visibility by managing print production single-handedly under tight deadlines.
Earlier, at Grey Advertising, I gained agency-paced momentum through a 1-year internship, consistently meeting deadlines across diverse client briefs. I produced high-conversion website banners and digital assets, strengthening my ability to balance multiple projects and stakeholder expectations.
As a freelance Graphic Designer, I increased brand visibility by 50% through a company logo refresh within a 2-week turnaround. I also refreshed core brand collateral (business cards, email signatures, and stationery) and created document templates and standardized client proposals to improve consistency and cut production time.
