About me

Never did I think that I would end up becoming a print and digital designer, creating design solutions for advertising, editorial, bid documents, packaging briefs, digital advertising and social media, App development, managing small teams to win bids as well as helping start-ups to develop their brand. Never did I think that I would also write two books, but I guess life is full of wonderful surprises.
