~ basically, a creative cat herder
ABOUT MEI'm a seasoned pro with a knack for orchestrating eye-catching campaigns that leave a lasting impression. My journey has taken me from steering creative for big-name brands in South Africa to teaming up with international NGOs and crafting effective strategies for e-commerce fashion labels.
I enjoy working in flow, transitioning from roles in social media management, communications consulting, and account management to becoming a rockstar in creative project management. Picture this: meticulous planning, resource wizardry, and a touch of magic to inject projects with captivating creative direction.
… you may have noticed I reference ‘herding cats’. And if you really think about it, that’s what I do: I gather the information needed to make things work, then I gather all the resources - in house or external - and align everyone to workflows and timelines to achieve the project goals. Sounds simple enough? It’s not 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈, but it’s why I love what I do.
