Infographic & Blog Content — The Inflation Cycle (In Mzansi)
Overview
Designed an original infographic breaking down how fuel costs compound through a product's supply chain, using a bag of potatoes as the illustrative example — then wrote an accompanying blog article translating the visual into an accessible explainer for In Mzansi's Business section.
What I did
Designed a 7-step infographic ("The Inflation Cycle") mapping the journey of a bag of potatoes from seed nursery to grocery shelf, illustrating where fuel cost enters at each stage
Developed custom character illustrations, iconography, and a warm brown/orange colour system to keep a data-driven topic visually engaging
Wrote a full-length blog article unpacking each step of the infographic, connecting it back to real economic concepts (inflation, shrinkflation, purchasing power) and South African context (load-shedding's effect on packaging costs)
Closed the piece with practical, actionable takeaways for readers navigating rising prices

Devotional Booklet Design — "I Will Obey" (Morning Coffee Devotional)
Overview
Wrote and designed a 7-day devotional booklet for personal faith brand "Graced by Truth" — a reflective series meant to be read alongside a morning coffee or tea. The project spanned both content (scripture selections, reflections, prayers) and full editorial layout.
What I did
Authored the devotional content: introduction, 7 daily readings (each with a scripture, reflection prompt, and prayer), and a closing thought
Designed the full booklet layout — cover, contents page, dedication, and interior pages — with a warm, minimal aesthetic (soft grey background, hand-lettered accents, watercolour coffee-stain motifs)
Built a consistent typographic system distinguishing headers, scripture text, and reflection/prayer sections for easy daily reading
Included publishing details (copyright, scripture translation notice, pastoral-care disclaimer) and a call-to-action linking to the Graced by Truth blog subscription

Food Label & Packaging Design — Just Food & Just Moringa
Designed retail-ready product labels for health-food brands: a fibre supplement packet ("Just Food," unflavoured, 500g) and a moringa powder pouch ("Just Moringa," by Davano Farm, 50g). Each label needed to balance regulatory nutrition/ingredient information with clean, shelf-appealing branding.
What I did
Designed full label layouts including ingredient lists, net weight, and a compliant Nutrition Facts table (per 100g and per serving) for the Just Food packaging
Built a two-tier brand layout for Just Moringa — logo lockup, product name, ingredients, usage suggestions, and farm branding/contact details
Developed a cohesive green-and-cream colour palette and typography system for each brand, using icon/leaf motifs to reinforce the "natural, whole-food" positioning
Structured both labels for print production, keeping text hierarchy legible at small packaging sizes

ASAQS Built Environment Dialogue & Gala Dinner 2026
I created the visual assets and event imagery for the ASAQS Built Environment Dialogue & Gala Dinner 2026.
The work included creating the event graphics, speaker and panelist visuals, promotional layouts, and supporting imagery used across the event's communications and presentation materials.
The visual direction was developed around the event's professional built-environment theme, using a cohesive navy, white, and gold identity throughout the materials.
