I studied Commercial Art at the University of Pretoria from 1976 to 1979.During the following ten years I was employed by the National Occupational Safety Association (NOSA) and Auto Promotions, a private Publishing Company where I gained extensive experience in the production and management of magazines and commercial printing. In 1989 I started my own production house in Pretoria which established itself as one of the leading design studios during the following 20 years.my clients included, among others, Northern Transvaal Rugby Union, Ster Kinekor, Department of Transport, Simeka TWS Communications, Insurance Brokers Council of South Africa, Willards, Butterworths, Penguin SA, Road Safety Association and M-Net.Since my school years, I had the ambition of starting my own children’s magazine and finally in 1995 materialised the vision. My love for the English language, my passion for children and my ability as a graphic artist combined in one rewarding project: MiniMag – the magazine for kids, grew from small beginnings into the longest existing truly South African edutainment children’s magazine. I hold the position of Managing Editor and am responsible for the entire content, visual appeal and advertising strategy of the magazine.
