Strategy
without noise.

I've spent 15+ years working in PR and communications, mostly in media. Right now I'm in-house at one of Africa's largest media businesses, MultiChoice, a CANAL+ company, working across brand reputation, marketing, PR measurement and high-profile campaign strategy. It's complex, fast-moving work and I find it genuinely interesting.

I believe the best communications work is invisible when it's working. Clear strategy, strong relationships and solid execution over time.

My landscape paintings and mixed media art explorations are inspired by the wilds of South Africa, from fynbos-covered foregrounds to distant mountain forms and expansive, shifting skies. My style is layered, expressive and intuitive. Rather than documenting literally, I aim to capture the feeling of being in the landscape: its weather, light, density, distance and drama.
