ABOUT ME
WHO AM I?
I first started with building computers and understanding tech and software from their foundational elements, using this knowledge I went on to discover what skills I want to develop using them. Please see my current levels per skill under ‘EXPERT IN’ section.
Originally, I am from Port Alfred, a small quaint town with paradise levels of lifestyle, but there isn’t much going on in the industry I love. I decided that I would rather challenge myself and try become something more and do more with life in areas of work that are exciting and new.
Having no alternative, I moved to Cape Town to pursue those ideals and started working in the industry of media, game and web design. All of my various skill sets come into one, important aspect, which is marketing.
I therefor consider myself a one-stop full marketing solution and am able to create the content and promote it as needed for anything using any software, hardware & platform.
