About The Creative

I'm a 23-year-old visual communicator with a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication Design. I tend to bounce between topics and styles: surveillance, play, magic, magnetism, memory, rationalism, re-presentation, mental health, and community art have formed part of my subject matter. I am interested in the intersection between visual art, science, and sustainability, and I am currently pursuing a postgraduate diploma in Sustainability Transitions at Stellenbosch University.
