Projects in SowetoProjects in SowetoHey Contra 👋🏽
Many of the challenges I participated in here pushed me to start experimenting with building tools and platforms.
One of those experiments slowly turned into something bigger.
I’ve been building a social platform called Spaxis for creatives, and it’s now about 90% ready.
I realized something… as creators, our work often gets mixed in with everything else on traditional platforms,and as tools improve and creators level up, the quality of what we create is only getting better, but the platforms we use haven’t really evolved to support that. Everything still gets mixed, lost, or disconnected.
Spaxis is built for where creators are heading, a space where their work can live and connect, putting creators and their work at the center, so what we create can actually stay connected and grow.
Building it has been challenging, but now comes the interesting part, seeing how people interact with it.
The platform is currently optimized for web not mobile, and since Contra is full of curious creators who like trying new things, I figured this would be the best place to share it.
Huge thanks to Contra and YouWare for creating environments that push creators to explore, experiment, and build. This wouldn’t exist without that.

It’s early, so your feedback really matters here😊 Smart Living — Tech Summit Event Identity & Digital Collateral
Smart Living is an innovative tech and smart-lifestyle brand bringing people together to create meaningful change through connectivity.
The Challenge: Develop an energetic, modern brand identity for the Smart Living Summit that seamlessly translates across event signage, digital attendee cards, and large-scale conference slide decks.
The Solution: We crafted a flexible visual identity system centered around a circuit-node motif, representing community networking and tech innovation. Driven by a high-energy palette of electric blue, coral, and teal, paired with clean geometric typography and dynamic constellation patterns, the identity creates a cohesive, memorable experience across all physical and digital touch points.
Collateral & Digital Application
Event Access & Lanyards: Dual-colored ID badges with customized fabric lanyards featuring woven constellation network patterns and logo repeats.
Exhibition Banners & Signage: Tall pull-up banners pairing high-contrast event photography with overlayed geometric network webs and bold call-to-action typography.
Digital Profile Cards / Mobile UX: Sleek mobile-first team member cards with integrated circuit linework, arched headshot frames, and bio excerpts.
Presentation Decks & Conference Collateral: Modular slide decks featuring duotone photo treatments, coral speaker banners, and node-grid background graphics for the Smart Living Summit.
