About Me
I'm a creative soul with a strategic brain and I genuinely love what I do.
Why?
Because I like solving problems and helping people.
I find a great sense of purpose in being of service to others.​
Over the years, I’ve had a lot of experience in the advertising game, corporate world, startup grind, and freelance hustle.
I work with awesome people at companies big and small, both in South Africa and abroad.
Hopefully we can work together soon so I can add you to my growing list of happy clients.


Gentleman
I’m on a continuous journey of self-development, holding myself to the highest standards that define a true gentleman.
My reputation is my currency and I work hard to grow it’s value through every action.
I aim to create great work and great working relationships.
​
I always put my clients first, stick to my word, and work my gentlemanly hind-quarters off to give you the highest-quality copy and best experience possible.
It’s important to me to operate ethically, be trustworthy, and act courteously.
And I'll fill you in on my secret...
If I’m ever in doubt about how to conduct myself with kindness, respect and positive energy, I just imagine I'm a capybara who happens to also be the Japanese foreign ambassador.
Then I act accordingly.

Copywriter
I’m a keen student of psychology and the human condition.
And I genuinely care about people.
​
This empathetic understanding allows me to get inside the mind of your chosen target audience and know exactly what levers to pull in order to make your marketing goals a reality.
​
I’m a hired gun for the human psyche. I understand how to teach, explain, convince and get people to want whatever it is you’re selling.
I’m a skilled researcher with a keen mind for understanding your business, its goals and challenges, as well as your target market.
​
I never leap without considering where we’ll land.
I always do research and develop a sound structure that will deliver results.
Because let’s be honest… businesses are complicated enough.
​No one needs drama from a high-maintenance freelancer.
That’s why I like to follow my tried and tested processes that make it as hassle-free as possible for you, and clear for me.
In my testimonials, people have said I’m a pleasure to deal with.
And that I'm pretty darn good at what I do.
I’m very humbled by their praise and grateful to have worked with some incredible creatives and clients over the years.
Hopefully, your name and testimonial will be right up there with theirs soon.

Everyone calls me that. You can too.
Born and bred in Johannesburg in 1989, my wife Lisa and I moved to Cape Town in 2019 and we welcomed our son Benjamin to this kooky world in 2024.

Aiming for the perfect game of putt putt
