About Me
After graduating with a Bachelor of Honors in Visual Studies from the University of Pretoria, I’ve spent the last 6 years working as a digital designer in the technology, sports, and gaming sectors.
Having worked in so many fields over the years, I've fulfilled the roles of producer, Branding/Communications, UI/UX Design, Game/Mechanic Design, Creative Direction, and Project Management
Lead Game
Designer
Working primarily for Big Ant Studios and Nacon, I successfully led a creative team, designed from conception to release a AAA game on multiple platforms, and developed strategies for player engagement and player experience.
User Experience Designer
I believe user experience is at the heart of all successful systems. From conceptualization through to actualization, I design interfaces and experiences that engage and resonate with its users; ensuring user satisfaction and ultimately enhancing the growth of these systems.
Creative
Director
With experience across multiple disciplines, I am able to work holistically on the input and output of projects, engaging with multiple departments and keeping fellow team members motivated and aligned to project goals with a cohesive vision.
