I’m a conceptual creative from South Africa residing in Brussels, dancing intricately through the obscured line between design and art direction.
I’m one of those passionate creatives, who find life in their work and every project becomes an extension of my life experience (I think actors call it method acting?).
It isn’t always easy to find harmony between the brief and client expectations, but when it happens, I must say it’s one of the most amazing experiences any creative can ever go through and this is what I chase… the human truth, to connect and resonate.
My career spans over a decade and loops around across various fields.
