Professional Journey

Over 18 Years of Diverse Experience in Graphic Design and Digital Marketing.

I began my career as a Graphic Designer at The Card King in South Africa in 2006, where I honed my skills in marketing collateral design and client communication. I continued to develop these abilities at The Print Shop (2007-2009), further refining my expertise in client interaction and design execution.

In 2009, I joined Emperors Palace, where I broadened my scope to include digital and social media content creation, managing complex collateral projects until 2016. My relocation to Ireland in 2017 marked a new chapter, where I gained experience in event marketing and technical design through freelance work and roles at 1Plus Events and Dublin Aerospace.

At Balance Beauty Spa (2018-2019), I expanded my digital marketing skills, leading initiatives in email campaigns and social media management. My career then took a technical turn as a Testing and QC Technician at PC Specialist (2020-2022), where I enhanced my problem-solving and technical troubleshooting capabilities.

In 2022, I transitioned back into marketing as a Marketing Coordinator at Corporate Clinic in the UK, leading website design and social media campaigns. Most recently, I served as a Graphic Designer at JLA (2023-2024), focusing on brand design and promotional material creation. This journey demonstrates my versatility across design, marketing, and technical roles, supported by continuous learning and adaptation in diverse environments.
