What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to innovate in motion design and immersive media, while mentoring others and exploring new technologies.

With over 15 years in the visual media industry, I have honed my skills as a motion designer and creative director, working across various platforms including broadcast, digital, and live events. My journey began as a freelance motion designer, where I collaborated with brands, artists, and agencies to create compelling visual narratives that resonate with audiences.

As a Creative Director at Caiz, I led a team in rebranding and producing high-quality audio-visual content for Islamic-compliant crypto finance. My role involved transforming ideas into captivating visuals, whether through dynamic motion design or immersive 360° VR experiences. I am passionate about leveraging new technologies to push the boundaries of visual storytelling.

In addition to my creative work, I have also taken on educational roles, serving as a Motion Design Programme Coordinator and Senior Lecturer at Cape Town Creative Academy. Here, I guide the next generation of designers, sharing my expertise in motion graphics and immersive media.
