Multi-disciplinary Creative Services: Art, Design, Live Illustration
I was thrilled to design a sophisticated logo and menu for MitĂ©ra restaurant, Umhlanga, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant bringing a taste of the coast to South Africa. The Design Approach We crafted a look that feels: âś… Elegant and handcrafted, capturing Mitera’s chic, contemporary vibe and their rich textural feel âś… Organic and warm, inspired by […]
When your brew is this good, your packaging should tell the same delicious story. Bold, fresh packaging design for Crane Flower Coffee , a South African brand known for its vibrant, floral-inspired blends. Why the Design Stands Out The new coffee packaging combines: âś… Vibrant illustrations âś… Clean, modern typography that balances the energetic […]
“..a refined wordmark paired with a subtle icon, reflecting the brand’s unique blend of artistry and authenticity. A simple, bold colour palette allows their vibrant products to shine, ensuring the brand identity complements rather than competes with their offerings.”

For the 2019 Design Indaba Durban simulcast, which took place at the Plant Venue Co around the corner from my studio, I pitched the idea of creating a mini activation to increase interaction, awareness and attendance for then event. My idea was that people can post a photo of themselves to their Instagram stories tagging […]
I was hired to rebrand a seafood restaurant in Chartwell Drive, Umhlanga, Durban, South Africa, focussing on logo and menu design. The colours were to be closely retained from previous branding and decor would remain the same, but a new name, logo and menus were needed. I came up with something clean and simple but […]
Fashion illustration in varied styles in a variety of mediums including watercolour, pastel, brush pen, and coloured pencil. I’m really enjoying experimenting with different styles here, and especially love the more abstract styles I’ve been working on. My focus when creating these isn’t necessarily on replicating a perfect likeness but rather capturing the feeling of […]
I was asked the create a set of illustrated cards for the Coffee Magazine‘s latte art competition as part of their Creative Coffee Week event. The competition was called the Mysterious Magical Milk Manipulation, and the concept was tarot-like cards that would be used during the competition where baristas would select one card in each […]
I had the amazing opportunity to work with Poetry stores on their festive in-store events in 2018 for their Durban (Gateway), Johannesburg (Menlyn) and Cape Town (Tygervalley) stores. I was doing live illustration and hand lettering, customising holiday cards for customers while they shopped. It was such fun and so great to see people’s reactions […]
I was invited to participate in the Discover Durban Design stand curated by Nadia Jonker at the 2018 East Coast Radio House & Garden Show. The stand featured a selection of products from Durban based artists and brands, and instead of providing a product I proposed doing a mural on the stand wall. The abstract […]
 Live Lettering at Skyline Coffee Big Box Co HQ Opening I was invited to provide live customised hand lettering for customers at the launch of the Big Box Co and Skyline Coffee’s new venue on Gordon Rd, off Florida Rd in Durban, South Africa. It’s a great new space that functions as a coffee shop […]
I was invited to do some live lettering and customisation at the Country Road Christmas event in December 2017 at their Gateway branch in Durban, SA. It was such a fun event and so great to see the excitement on people’s faces seeing their own messages being custom hand lettered by me for them to […]
Ideas Magazine (SA) got in touch after seeing my illustrations for my Instagram daily doodle project themed “Words in Shapes” (#HIWordsinShapes). I created a “words in shapes”hand lettered illustration for their pull-out quote page in the June 2015 issue with the quote “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” by JW Stephens. Client: Ideas Magazine […]
I had an awesome opportunity to work with Portfolio Design on a window mural illustration for the new Aliverti boutique shoe store in Kloof, Durban. This was a hand drawn illustration across the top of three large windows. It was a super fun project and turned out exactly as I’d intended, so I’m pretty happy […]

I created these personalised hand lettered cards for my clients a few years back.  I thought it would be fun to give them a pack of my favourite coffee beans from a local coffee shop, since coffee is a part of so many people’s lives, especially creatives and small businesses working hard. The idea was to […]
