Design

This is a project I did this year. Developing an identity for character of your choice, I chose Audrey Hepburn. It is a mixture of classic and feminine, I designed the business card to serve as a small fan. The first image is the promotional item.

I also enjoy photography, especially capturing precious moments... A great love is to photograph children and families, here's a few photos of my beautiful sister-in-law, Jeanne-Marie Robertson, a week before she gave birth to Stefan. My brother really has a stunning wife and the cutest children!! Enjoy..
They had a picnic in the garden at their home and I just captured them interacting with each other.. It was so much fun!
If you are interested in having photo's taken of your children, pregnancy and/or family please contact me!

working on now

At the moment I am working at a design company just outside Stellenbosch. I'm doing illustrations for a magazine, so I have fun all day long with drawing and illustrating, two of my favourite things! I will be posting more of the illustrations soon...

And then I am also designing the wedding stationary for Jo-Anni de Beer (almost Coetzee) & Gerrit Coetzee, what a priviledge!! This I will only show you when they have handed it out to their guests. I'm so excited, Jo-Anni you're going to look stunning and I am so happy to be a part of your beautiful day!!!

Some of the work I did this year

this is a bag that becomes a dress and clutch bag for girls who
don't have a lot of time to dress up for a night out,
but still wants to look stunning

The sling of the bag becomes the clutch bag and the bag itself becomes this stunning dress!
My stunning friend, Sunandi (almost De Wet) looking radiant, as always;)
my sincere thanks to my friends who helped me with this endeavour:
Christine O' Kennedy (she makes the most beautiful wedding dresses) she has samples on facebook or contact her on: christineokennedy@gmail.com;
Sunandi Venter (almost De Wet) who blesses me with her radiant personality and friendship who is also a professional in the beauty industry;

oh happy day

The end of some things is the beginning of great things.. I finished my studies at Stellenbosch Academy of Design & Photography a week ago and I am ready for this next season of my life! My heart is bubbling over, I have a desire to create and have so many ideas, lets see where this journey takes us...
