ABOUT ME
Designing with purpose, energy, and a whole lot of empathy.
I am a Cape Town-based Product Designer with an unmatched curiosity for the world and a 100% energy approach to my craft. My philosophy is deeply rooted in human connection; I believe in living life with purpose and designing with the ripple effects of our creations in mind. I thrive in collaborative spaces and strive to turn my workplace into a second home where coworkers become lifelong friends.
My path to digital design began at sea. Before earning my BA in Visual Communication from Red & Yellow Creative School of Business, I spent five years traveling the world in the hospitality industry as a yacht stewardess and masseuse. That fast-paced environment taught me how to read client needs, serve others, and anticipate problems before they arise—a customer-centric mindset I now channel into creating intuitive, user-first digital interfaces.
Over my career, I've evolved from enhancing high-profile mobile apps to taking on strategic, client-facing roles where I balance rapid execution with meticulous critical thinking. I am a independent thinker who loves to interrogate a brief and pivot quickly when the digital landscape demands it.
