About me

My name is Barbara van Wyk, I see rainbows in everything, and I love making plans and solving problems.

I'm a communication designer by trade.

I'm happiest finding new ways to articulate, visualise, and move information. My skills (in priority order) are creative direction, visual design and illustration, critical/strategic thinking, research (UX/other), team/project operations, project scoping, front-end web development, css/2D animation, and copywriting.

I work well paired with and managing a strong team and a client who are both as excited about a project as I am. I love handling a job from start to finish - even better if it's the start of a long-term relationship that consistently serves the team involved and allows us to grow together.

I aim to deliver valuable work, and find it very important to define and measure success.

I find that I get the best results when I am regularly surprised.
