New logo design for my all-time, bestest, favourite client - my Dad. My Dad’s father and Mum’s father we’re both bakers and passed down recipes & expertise so it’s a real heritage brand, all the products have a history. Some of the staff working on the bakery floor are also second/third generation. As I am third generation I officially made myself “tester” of all new product... oh and I do all the graphics for the business. We are currently revamping the factory shop and decided it’s time for a bit of a make-over branding wise as we have many projects in the pipeline including some packaging (yay!).

Women’s Day tea packaging gifting design I conceptualized and designed a few years ago. One of my all-time favourite projects. Highlighting famous South African female legends paired with a tea that suited their personality.

New logo design for a beautiful, quaint, French country style restaurant in Franschhoek. Was such a lovely name to work with, with my brushstroke lettering I crafted “Bon Bon” so it is also unique. The restaurant itself is so authentic you feel like you really are dining in the countryside in France, piece of beauty that place! www.bistrobonbon.co.za

Lucky that my days are filled with collaborations with other designers, photographers, my mentors (being a mentor) and of course my clients with whom I have been super-blessed to have watched both our businesses grown. Just wanted to say, “Yay Us!”

New logo design ❤️ Syres is a research and analytics consulting firm which deals with mostly higher education.
Syres is phonetically and symbolically related to both the Egyptian God, Osiris and the Sirius star system - both of rebirth and transformation.
The client and I chose two “S” creating a star that shows movement. Movement embodying “transformation”. The “S” taken from the typeface used which was Egyptian inspired.
What a dream job for a star-gazer like me!
