About
I graduated from the Cape Town Creative Academy with a degree in Interaction Design and have spent the last 6+ years honing my craft in a variety of settings, from product design teams to independent studios.
Currently, I'm working remotely with a San Francisco-based studio, Logic + Rhythm, where we collaborate with startups and established companies across the US and Europe to bring digital products to life.
While at Logic + Rhythm, I worked as the Lead Designer on Switchboard, a collaboration tool. Switchboard has earned a great following since its public beta launch, has won Product of the Day, and was featured as a Rising Star in the Forbes 2022 Cloud 100.
I've also worked alongside the Bueno team on Web3 features to make NFT creation more accessible to creators on their platform.
Projects
Switchboard aims to change the way remote teams collaborate in an online space by providing the tools and environments necessary to have spontaneous and collaborative conversations with teammates. Switchboard has secured $38,8 million in funding and has won Product Hunt of the Day on 02 May 2022. They have been recognized as one of 20 Rising Stars on Forbes' Cloud 100 List, as well as one of the best inventions of 2022 by the Times, and have won a Webby Award for Apps, dApps, and Software Productivity & Collaboration in 2023.
