I started working in digital in 2000 as a Flash developer for DRH Technologies, an educational content creator for the learning channel. During this time, I developed educational modules for a UK learning platform. After that I worked as Flash Developer and UX generalist at Prezence Digital (2005) developing micro sites for the music and entertainment industries.
I then joined Aqua Online (2008) as Flash Developer and progressed to Head of Rich Application Development (2011), and subsequently Head of Technology and UX (2013), where I managed a team of Developers, Interaction Designers and User Experience Designers with a strong mobile focus. I then got promoted to the Creative Technology Director at Wunderman Applogix (2015) managing the agency support practice. My last career move within the Wunderman group was to be appointed the Chief Technology Officer for Fluid agency (2017) – an agency developed within Wunderman to service Telkom their subsidiaries.
I now work at Lucky Beard as Head of Experience Design, utilising my technical and creative development experience to create intuitive solutions to complex problems for various clients.
I have worked on various projects across a range of different industries and clients, including brands such as Standard Bank, BMW, MINI, Nokia, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, Ster-Kinekor, Coca-Cola, Cadbury, Telkom and BCX, OUTvest, OUTsurance and Investec. My work on MINI and Coke has been recognised with Sigi, Bookmarks and Loerie awards.
