Who I am

Originally a qualified psychiatric social worker with a further degree in public relations, but for the past 25 years a graphic designer and designer/co-ordinator of the Kirstenbosch-South Africa exhibit for the Chelsea Flower Show (plus various other garden shows around the world, viz. Singapore, Thailand and Japan).

Head of Graphic Services, SANBI (Kirstenbosch), for 16 years until starting my own design business in 2001.

What I do:

• Books

• Research

• Annual and Financial Reports

• Creative writing

• Logo design

• Pamphlets

• Theatrical posters and programmes

• Corporate ID

• Interpretive materials and storyboards

• Street posters

• Scenic design (stage sets)

• Web design and development

I have patience and willingness to produce desired results, no fixed working hours and never miss a deadline! Which is, perhaps, why my clients keep returning.

Don

Plans are well under way for the third Grahamstown Flower Festival on 29 & 30 October! The Makana Botanical Gardens, which will again host this growing festival, have benefited immensely from the wonderful summer and autumn rains that have all but broken the 2-year long drought in the area. It is hoped that there will be good spring rains just before this year's event to make everything lush and green.
