I've always loved the stationary section in bookshops and colour pencils & paper were my choice of toys when I was
a kid. Since then I have graduated in Graphic Design and moved on
to drawing with a tablet on screen.
I studied at the Art Directors College in Cape Town and got my first
job at a signage company in Windhoek, Namibia.
It was a great first job and it gave me the chance to explore all sides
of design and production, as everything from initial concept to large
format printing was done in-house. That experience also helped me
to get my foot in the door of the publishing industry in London
where I have been designing for magazines, books, promotional
material and web sites for the last six years.
I instinctively know when an image
fits a brief perfectly, may it be through art buying or my own illustrations
which I create using Photoshop, Illustrator and the good old
pencil.
