I’m a design & markets expert and experienced Front-End Developer & Brand Consultant that strategizes and creates digital assets that are conceptually strong, brand-appropriate, aligns with brand standards and meets functional requirements. I have my training as a Brand Specialist with the University of London. I have over 10 years experience in the brand and delivery field and started my own Agency (GraphixSeal) in 2015 and has been the design and advertising leader for the agency.

I have worked with various teams from SMEs, agencies and corporates to develop their brand development, design (UX, UI) and advertising solutions for their products. I have built visible and measurable traction for clients through my digital approach and knowledge. I have collaborated with other Leaders and experts in the industry to form Green Box Studio a consulting firm that specializes primarily in digital transformation.

I bring a unique experience working with various small businesses that have grown significantly with my strategy and solutions. As a thought leader I seek to build more brands from a broad organizational perspective and afford brand owners a deeper understanding of the evolving practice of brand management, one that goes further than practiced in most organizations today.

“I’m a thought Leader in my professional space and I’m considered as a knowledgeable creative in my industry and teachable student in my career growth.”

I studied Town Planning at the University of Johannesburg in 2016. I quickly made a swift turn after realizing my passion leaned more towards graphics and the digital world. So I began to sharpen my natural skills around the creative space by focusing more on my own Brand GraphixSeal.

I took up short courses online and upgraded my knowledge and certified my studies with the University of London. I earned a carrier certificate in Brand Management that has empowered me to master the following:

• How to build brands from a broad organizational perspective.
• How to lead brand-led culture change with human resource practices at the core (i.e., brand as a lever and not just an outcome)
• How to build brands in multi-brand companies, across cultures and geographies.
• How to measure brand health in new ways, that is, internally in addition to externally.
• How to value and capture returns to brands across the organization – introducing the new concept of employee-based brand equity – and how this is different from the valuation of brands as intangible assets.

I have also earned certification in Digital Marketing and Ecommerce that has allowed me to master the following:

• Define and execute the fields of digital marketing and e-commerce.
• Describe properly the job responsibilities of an entry-level digital marketing coordinator or e-commerce analyst (and similar job titles).
• Recognize in-demand skills in digital marketing and e-commerce across industries.
