Profile

hello… i am a graphic designer, photographer and illustrator living, loving and laughing in the little coastal town of Knysna, South Africa.

Having worked in the branding and design industry in London and Johannesburg for 8 years, I moved to Knysna to live a life “worth living” – one of greater meaning… if you know what I mean!

I studied a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Psychology in Cape Town, and then a diploma in Graphic Design. This background influences much of my work.

I recently re-read my textbook on Carl Jung’s psychology and this quote expresses my thoughts perfectly:

““The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purposes through him. As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is “man” in a higher sense – he is “collective man,” a vehicle and moulder of the unconscious psychic life of mankind.”

My portfolio can also be viewed on my Bubblesite which is still a work in progress!

(If you would like a custom calendar made from your own selection of my images please bubble mail me. I would also be happy to alter T-Shirt designs slightly – like the size of the design on the shirt.)
