Graphic Design
Brand strategist and visual designer helping small businesses and creators look their absolute best. 2nd-year BCom Graphic Design student at Wits with a passion for logos, social media content, and full brand identities that actually convert. I've worked with 20+ local businesses and my designs have landed on Joburg street billboards. I believe great design is invisible — it just feels right.
