WhiIe I was creative director at Motiv and responsible for the design and production of a number of Annual Reports including; Old Mutual, Spearhead, BoE Bank and Truworths to name a few. After 5 years on the annual reporting side I was responsible fro setting up the Branding Unit. As business unit manager of the branding we were responsible for the rebranding and development of the new corporate identity's for Old Mutual and Grindrod.

While at Trademark Design as the Studio Manager, and I worked on a number of international and national design projects including the rebranding of Anglo American, De Beers, Alpha Cement and Placson.My role included client service and running the office for about 8 months, Clive, the owner, became my mentor in the design industry, and I have great respect for his ability and thank him for all he taught me.

A short stint, priming my skill, as a Technical Illustrator for Log Tek taught me the basics that has helped me focus on my strengths since.
