I’m curious – compelled to learn and grow. For me, it’s been all about my path forward. As an immigrant from South Africa, I lost my parents at a very young age. I had two choices. Give up and give in to being a victim of life’s circumstances OR let the experience of loss fuel me to find a way to make a difference in mine and in other people’s lives.You’re reading my profile here on Linkedin because I chose the latter path.Not that it was easy (it never is) but trauma can spark unbridled motivation. It motivated me to become a lifelong learner and pursue my quest for clarity and awareness. It motivated me to continually push myself to become better; to continually strive to become a more refined iteration of myself. After graduating with an undergraduate degree in Sales and Marketing, I knew that I needed more. And I wanted to become more.That’s when I got accepted to Harvard University for my Master’s in Digital Media. With that career “trifecta” in hand; and the knowledge of how to market products plus services, how to sell them, and what good design could do for a brand, I was ready to start my own digital agency.Enter RED STONE STUDIO: https://redstonestudio.com/A digital marketing agency to help brands grow by becoming influential within their own industry.

It’s a methodology that unlocks potential. I’m a problem solver at heart who just happens to enjoy the aesthetic pleasure of good design.And I’m an educator and researcher, too.
