Background: I grew up in Durban and took Computer Studies in high school in the 90s and learned Turbo Pascal. But my real fascination was the internet! It was exciting and I loved the idea of being connected to the rest of the world.
After high school, I studied Computer Science and Human & Social Studies, as I struggled to find work in the tech field. When I finally joined the tech industry in 2007, I was interested in all aspects of web development. This lead to trying out several roles including: graphic design, php development, frontend design and more.
In 2009 I left Durban to work in Miami, then Pretoria and finally Cape Town - which is where I've been for over a decade.
These days: My focus has been on UX Design. It has been an exciting and challenging experience working closely with clients and users to create better products. Even though I spend an unpredictable amount of time at each client I hope to leave their team in a better place than when I started:
🖤 Understand more ux and ui concepts and activities. (Design shouldn't seem mystical anymore!)
🖤 Able to continue with Design Workshops on their own. Confidently!
🖤 Maintaining and improving the systems I initiated.
Last year I worked with an older, non-technical group to create a web application. I ran several Product Design Workshops and it was a learning experience for myself and the group.
