I am 39 years old, highly motivated, goal oriented, have an eye for detail and a constructive approach to problem solving. I have a strong creative and conceptual vision for all branding requirements and have worked on multiple brands providing a total brand service. In my many years working in the corporate environment,
I have gained valuable knowledge and experience in all aspects of marketing and branding and am able to execute high-quality interactive communications to meet strategic business objectives.
I currently work for Momentum Investments, a subsidiary of one of the largest financial services giants in Africa, the MMI Group, and manage the graphic design and branding department which I started 14 years ago in July 2001.
I love what I do, take pride in my work and strive to excel in everything that I undertake. I am passionate about the brands that I service and enjoy the challenging projects that I am faced with on a daily basis.
In my 18 years of experience, I have acquired an in-depth knowledge of numerous software programs on various platforms.
I have also worked closely with the print industry, gaining valuable knowledge in all aspects of the print process, new technologies and possibilities. This has served me well in reducing costs and working smarter to achieve better results. I have also gained considerable knowledge within the digital industry and have created and executed high-level, targeted digital campaigns.
