About Me

I am a budding UI/UX Developer from Wolmaransstad, North West, working as a Content Coordinator, focusing on UI/UX and Web Development. I take pleasure in simplifying chaos into something simple, beautiful and intuitive.

My thing is building websites that are functional and user-friendly but also aesthetic at the same time, and I’m also working on the ability to do so with most digital products. My aim is to bring across your message and identity in the most creative way.

Lastly, I’m a fan of living life to the fullest and I do that by being an adrenaline junkie. I’m currently a professional boxer and amateur wrestler because why not do what makes you happy here and there.

What I'm Doing

UI/UX

I design aesthetic and functional digital experiences at an efficient level.
Web Development

I like to code things from scratch, although not always, and enjoy bringing ideas to life in the browser.
MMA

I enjoy adding different techniques to my arsenal and bringing new strategies to life in the ring.
Digital Marketing

I'm quite familiar with digital marketing and although I might not be a maestro at it, I'm versed in SEO and Marketing Analytics.

Words I Try To Live By

Jesus Christ

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Guts

"Even if we painstakingly piece together something lost, it doesn’t mean things will ever go back to how they were."
MF DOOM

"Definition "super-villain": a killer who love children One who is well-skilled in destruction, as well as building."
William Shakespeare

“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” (He Supposedly Said This)

Collaborations

Resume

Education

University of South Africa
2024 — Present
Now that I have a clear idea of what I want to do, I decided to go back to school to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. This excites me because I want to understand how humans use and are affected by technology from both the design and psychological perspectives, as well as the technical aspects. Starting over was difficult to come to terms with, but it's not so bad because we have one life, and it's worth an attempt.
University of Pretoria
2020 — 2022
Before going to UP, I attended UKZN, to study finance, which was an eye-opening experience that taught me the high cost and responsibility of freedom. At UP, I learned a lot from being a member of leadership societies, almost facing academic exclusion, and making friends that always challenged me. I realized the importance of living life purposefully, even though this lesson came at the end of my final year. While pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce, I discovered my passion for design and psychology, but I felt it was missing a touch of tech.
Hoërskool Wolmaransstad
2014 — 2018
I learned a lot in high school, including how to live and achieve things with people from different walks of life and cultures, all while having fun. However, I was blinded by a bubble of naivety and comfort, which later caused issues when I had to decide what to do with my future.

Experience

Content Coordinator (Dis-Chem Pharmacies)
2023 — Present
Currently, I'm at Dis-Chem Pharmacies, where I'm thoroughly enjoying my experience and learning significantly. My main focus has been on the phased redesign of Dis-Chem's website, specifically enhancing its UI/UX. Additionally, I've been actively developing web applications using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to drive user engagement for promotions. Surprisingly, I've also been integrating SEO practices and utilizing insights from Klevu Analytics to improve product and promotion visibility.
Online Merchant Contractor (Oji SA)
2022 — 2023
At OjiShop, I applied skills I had acquired at XIRCLS, highlighting the importance of transferable skills in one's career. I gained proficiency in using Content Management Systems(Shopify) and crafted product descriptions tailored to an audience passionate about Japanese culture. Utilizing keyword research, I optimized content for enhanced visibility and employed storytelling techniques to captivate users' attention.
Digital Marketing Intern (XIRCLS)
2022 — 2022
During my internship at XIRCLS, I experienced practical digital marketing for the first time. I gained insights into influencing and monitoring user behavior online, and I became familiar with copywriting, SEO principles, and Google Analytics. While these areas may not be my strongest suit, the experience deepened my understanding of their crucial role in creating more effective and user-friendly digital products
