A Bit About Me
I currently work as a 3D Animation & Graphic Design Lecturer at the Creative Arts College in Pietermaritzburg, KZN.
​
I studied 3D and 2D animation at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal as part of my Bachelor of Arts Visual Arts degree, which increased my interest and knowledge in the digital media field.
​
Curiosity and hunger for 3D and 2D animation knowledge pushed me to work in Production spaces. The first year of my working experience required me to learn filming and editing. The past year has been an exploring and learning phase. The acquired knowledge and devotion have led to the creation of engaging products.
