Once upon a time in a land far, far away, I was a small-town art nerd, bright eyed from the Eastern Cape, that decided to pack her bags and move to the city to become an Art Director.
I completed my studies at the AAA School of Advertising and kick-started my career at King James II (Johannesburg) before moving to Cape Town to work at The Big Red - Ogilvy. Since then I've circled back north and am currently kicking it at Joe Public.
Now, as a full blown adult with two cats and a husband, I still can't tell you how to get anywhere without Google Maps in the city. But, what I can tell you, is that I am here to make some epic work (not just toasted cheese) and have loads of fun while doing it.
Isn't that why we all started this in the first place?
If you are interested in more details on my career please contact me via my contact page and I will share my full CV by email. Alternatively, click through to my LinkedIn page. But, in the meantime here's some highlights:
