About me
I'm a 'yung' Joburg based designer with over 6 years of experience in graphic design, branding, illustration, animation, advertising & marketing. I'm very passionate about art, design, graffiti, sneakers, branding, typography, street culture & just creating dope visuals. Since finishing my BA Graphic Design at Vega School, I've been working as a designer at various agencies which have given me the opportunity to work with some of the best local and international brands such as Nike, Nando's, Vodacom, Colgate-Palmolive, ABSA, Discovery & Nestlé.
I'm realIy passionate about art, design, sneakers, soccer, branding, typography, graffiti and creating striking visuals & brand identities. I just love making really cool things & making cool things better.
'Yung' is a slang term for young. My youth plays a very important role in my creativity. It represents my personality & unconventional approach to my work and life. I like colouring outside the lines, taking risks and pushing the boundaries.
I refer to myself as a visual artist because I see myself as being more of an artist than a designer. When I'm not designing, I'm probably creating art.
