Brand-Led Digital Experience · Case Study
Designed a bold, brand-forward site that needed to read as credible to corporate sponsors, partner brands and athletes alike.
Read Case StudyLogos, visual systems and brand collateral — a distinct look built to carry consistently, from mark to brand manual.
User-centred interface design for web, mobile and intranet applications — from wireframes and flow mapping through to production-ready Figma deliverables.
Responsive, polished websites built from the ground up — custom WordPress themes or clean HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript, coded as carefully as they're designed.
3D visualisation, 2D vector illustration, motion graphics and video — the supporting craft that carries a look into every remaining channel.
We start by working out what the project actually needs — the audience, the constraints, the reference points. That brief is what everything else answers to.
I map the brief onto a concrete plan — what needs designing, what needs building, in what order, with what timeline — so scope stays clear from the outset.
The concept becomes visible — identity, interface, layout. I build it myself, so nothing gets diluted on its way from sketch to screen.
Polished files, clean code, or a live site — handed over exactly as agreed. I stay available post-launch to keep things running smoothly as they evolve.
Hello! I'm a senior freelance graphic designer and web developer based in Cape Town. I help businesses look and work better online — identity systems, illustration, and websites built from scratch, designed and coded by the same hands.
I've spent over 27 years in the trenches of design and digital work — as a graphic designer, interface designer, front-end developer and illustrator — which means a project never gets handed over the fence to be reinterpreted by someone else. I design it and I build it, so nothing gets lost in translation. I am a lover of science fiction, cats and good coffee, and have been spotted playing bass in various jazz ensembles in and around the greater Cape Town area.
Kind words from people I've had the pleasure of working with.
