Teaching design is where my passion comes alive. At the Information Design department at the University of Pretoria, I lecture UI/UX, social innovation design, corporate identity design, and visual culture (place and airline branding).
My master's thesis explored otherworldliness, aesthetics and death in post-WWII Japanese poster design, reflecting my fascination with languages, design, metaphysics and history.
I'm also a language coach, YouTuber and blogger on the side. I promise I have hobbies, too! I can spend hours learning about flags, reading books, watching films, painting and traveling.
