  • Crystal Serenity Website

    Keywords: Spa, Healing, Beauty, Corporate, Spirituality

    A start up business required an identity, stationery and a website. I provided 3 sets of unique identities. The client chose her favorite, and I proceeded to create business card designs and a content management blog site with unique template pages. Below is an example of the proposed website layout. Since the creation of the website, the client, who was still deciding on her services, found her strengths in other skills and has developed her new business accordingly. I was not able to assist her with her new business, but you can now find her as the Lotus Coach, making positive waves in the lives of entrepreneurs.

  • Designer Shoe Outlet

    Keywords: Sexy, Optimistic, Daring, Bold

    Designer Shoe Outlet started in the early 2000's in KwaZulu Natal. The client required a logo that would be as attractive and exciting as the Brazilian shoes he sold. He opened a chain of stores across some major malls in the country (The Pavilion, The Gateway, and the Pietermaritzburg Mall). These were very exciting times for me as a young designer! DSO was my first complete branding project! I saw my logo design become a beautiful lightbox signage in these malls, and the same logo printed on high quality pure white plastic shopping bags! The client also frequently required adverts in leading women's magazines like The Cosmopolitan, and later in Newspapers like the Isolezwe.   COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINE ADVERT:

  • Eat 2 Transform Magazine

    Keywords: Fresh, Spiritual, Uplifting

    The client had an idea to create a kinder living lifestyle magazine and approached me for design. The magazine was to also accommodate advertising space with some adverts requiring design. Where there would usually be a team assigned to create magazines, and another to supply advert layouts, I had experience from working solo on the Unilever South Africa Mojo Magazine. Back then I had used Macromedia Freehand to design layouts. Fortunately by the time of this magazine I was fluent in Adobe Indesign, which allowed me better control over page layouts.

  • Gary Steyn

    Keywords: Inspirational

    When I first met Gary Steyn, it seemed as though we were the answer to each others prayers. Dream Builders SA needed a designer and I needed a change. Gary was in charge of the media side of Dream Builders International, and he interviewed me. I remember nervously sitting at the coffee shop outside their office block, but then, there was such a positive buzz in the air that I felt I'd be lucky to work there. I had just driven home after the interview with Gary, when I received a message that he was trying to contact me to say they'd seen enough of other portfolios and wanted to hire me. The environment at DBI was vital to my being! Working at DBI, I found much joy alongside some of the most kind and memorable people such as Patrick Coetzee (founder), Gary Steyn, Martin Chappen, Amanda Engelbrecht, and Mandy and Yoli from Zakiya Communications. With DBI and Zakiya Communications I designed Unilevers inhouse magazine: Mojo, as well as IdenitiKids Packaging, and various other projects including for Pick N Pay (PnP), Spar and Three Cities Hotels. One day, during a quiet time I decided to illustrate this picture of Gary from a photograph. Not long after I joined DBI, Gary left. For the first time I was on my own without a director. Prior to DBI, I had spent many years at Periscope Advertising and Design under Brett Simons (director). In both these jobs I was pretty much a solo designer overseeing design from start to finish. I suppose this has always been a major side to my identity and the reason I've continued to be a Solopreneur, after my years in London.
