How to lease a Property
Tools Used: After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Freepik, Powerpoint
Project Type: Public-Facing Videos
Usage: Corporate Networking Events, Client meetings, onboarding sessions.
Created a clean and intuitive animated explainer video that walks users through the steps of leasing or renting a property via the company website. The animation showcases each stage — from browsing listings to submitting documentation — with subtle motion and branding alignment. Used at networking events, the video enhances the brand's visibility and simplifies onboarding for new clients.
Safety Video

Designed and animated a safety video shown before team meetings. It follows the day-in-the-life of a maintenance worker, using relatable storytelling to emphasize workplace safety.
The video reinforces the company's commitment to well-being and compliance in a friendly, non-intrusive way. Motion graphics were carefully timed to match internal guidelines and tone.
UX/UI Design
Tools: Adobe XD, Illustrator, InDesign
Project Type: University Project (University of Johannesburg)
Year: 2019

As part of a UI-focused project brief, I conceptualized a mobile application for Starke Ayres, a leading seed company. The design aimed to enhance customer interaction by streamlining how users browse, learn about, and purchase agricultural seeds. The app's interface prioritizes accessibility, minimalism, and an intuitive layout that guides users from exploration to checkout.
The aesthetic is clean and functional - leveraging a modern grid system, green-themed color palettes, and custom iconography to align with the Starke Ayres brand identity. Each screen was developed with mobile usability in mind, ensuring consistency across user flows.
