about

Born on the 4th of December 1973, in Pongola, Kwa-Zulu-Natal, where I joined my older sister, mother and father. My father was a game ranger for the Natal Parks Board at the time, which fostered a natural love of nature and especially animals. He later joined the military, therefore so did we… We spent 5 years living in Bloemfontein and then finally moved down to Cape Town where I have been living ever since. From a young age, I showed a strong interest in art and maths which looking back now, has aided in my Art Direction talents. I was brought up in a liberal, middle-class household by two strong-willed Virgos. I started showing my natural organisational, leadership and motivational tendencies in high school and it is these skills along with my creative and artistic abilities, money/budgeting savvy and problem-solving capabilities, which have served me so well throughout my career. A good sense of humour when under pressure has never gone amiss either. After High School, I studied and completed a 3-year Diploma in Graphic Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. I found that ad agency work did not live up to my expectations as I needed to be challenged and allowed to grow more. When the opportunity to try out the Film Industry came along in 1995, I jumped at it! I have thoroughly enjoyed the growth, experiences, connections and friendships the industry has afforded me since. Thank you for visiting my website and showing your interest in me, my portfolio of work and service offerings. I look forward to connecting and collaborating with you and being of service to you. Let’s make magic happen…
Whilst most of my portfolio consists of international commercials, I have a great deal of experience working on various both local in international feature films, TV series, documentaries, music videos and corporate videos. These were all created in various parts of South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique and Nigeria.
