My Philosophy

WHO AM

I TO YOU?

The places that surround us shape our interpersonal ties.

Over time, humans grow in personality and even physically, and all of this is influenced by the architecture in our surroundings. Many times, a space has had a strong influence on one's emotions due to memories associated with that space.

This is the school of thought that feeds my passion for design. The art of the creation of moments in space is my everyday pursuit.

Selected Projects 1.

THE DIGITAl FABRICATION PROJECT.

01.

22 03 2023.

The goal of this project was to design a free-standing room divider with a practical, decorative, and maybe expressive function that divides a space or place, incorporating handcrafted and digital manufacturing.

The final design was primarily influenced by Johannesburg's Brutalist architecture, with the concept aiming to capitalize on the architectural style's contrasting heavy, rigid features with the lightweight, complex aspects of modern digital fabrication.

THE SMALL WORLD PROJECT

Small World School is a Johannesburg-based innovative Reggio-inspired playgroup and preschool for children aged 2 to 8. A world for the small, where everything appeals to the child's incredible ingenuity and innate curiosity. We were assigned to work on this project in conjunction with Graphic and Industrial Design students, to research, develop, and present a comprehensive design concept for the school that includes creating inventive "flexible space" solutions that fulfil the needs of a specific space and its varied activities/uses.

THE PACKAGING

CO. PROJECT

THIS PROJECT, AIMED AT DEVELOPING ENVIRONMENTAL BRANDING SKILLS AND IMPROVING THE DESIGNERS ABILITY TO DEVELOP STRONG DESIGN CONCEPTS DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM VARIOUS CREATIVE PROCESSES AND IN THE END LINKING IT TO THE CLIENTS NEEDS AND PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. THE FOCUS OF THE PROJECT WAS, THEREFORE, ON A PRESENTATION BOARD THAT DISPLAYED THE DESIGNERS CONCEPT WITH CLARITY AND HAS AN UNDERLYING THEME WHICH FALLS IN LINE WITH THE DESIGN CREATED. THE PROJECT REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ON AUTOCAD PHOTOSHOP AND REVIT TO PRODUCE A FINAL RENDER OF THE OFFICE SPACE AND BOARDROOM OF THE PACKAGING CO.

THE RECEPTION

DESK PROJECT

This job asked me to create a set of designs for a self-service counter that would meet all of the requirements for displaying ready-made meals, holding places for condiments, utensils, and trays, and a PayPoint. Then we were told to think about all of the materials and building methods that would be needed, as well as ergonomics and durability.
