About Me

My life journey began in my birth town

Bloemfontein, South Africa

Directly translated, flower fountain.
My childhood was filled with escapades of pure sunshine on a charming smallholding. We relocated to Cape Town when I was 8 years old and the beautiful city became my home.

Studies

Qualifications

I studied Photography and Desktop Publishing, waltzing my way to a Creative Brand/Visual Communications degree in Art Direction.

Work Experience

In the Corporate Jungle

I've swung from being a Conceptual Artist and Marketing Assistant in the EduTech realm to teaching English in Thailand. After, I worked in the printing and branding industry, mastering design, office wizardry, and all things business.

2015 whispered

"Go Solo!"

I embarked on my career as an independent Graphic Designer and Entrepreneur of a business called GoldenTech, assisting the elderly with technology in their golden years.

Fast forward to 2017

The Dutch Dream

My fiancé, Ohana our cat, and I crossed continents to settle in the Netherlands, a haven of inspiration. Here, amidst tulips and windmills, my creative spirit found new life, gifting me the enchanting world of Ingrini, which eventually led me here to Van Bokh. While jewellery making is on hold, I'm gearing up to share floral-inspired DIYs in an upcoming book.

Writing has always been my passion

From Childhood Diaries to Journals

My latest project, The Honest Unofficial Expat Guide to The Netherlands, published this year was all self-taught and driven by curiosity. I’m so excited to dive into creating awesome digital products for everyone, everywhere! Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for joining me on this fun adventure!
