Empowering Data-Driven Decisions
Public Transport Mapping Tool Suite
Role: Product Designer + Product Manager
With: WhereIsMyTransport
I led the Design and Product Management of a powerful, integrated Mapping Tool Suite that was instrumental in efficiently digitising complex public transport networks in the majority world. With a focus on megacities like Mexico City, Lima, Bangkok, and Gauteng, our team successfully mapped over 50 cities, paving the way for improved mobility and connectivity.
Our enterprise datasets empowered decision-makers to shape sustainable and accessible cities. The same datasets fueled popular mobility apps that mobilised passengers to take control of how they move.
By bringing clarity to this complex problem space, our platform transformed transport mapping and facilitated data-driven decisions for enterprises and consumers.
Creating Financial Clarity for All
Retirement Planning Website
Role: Product Designer + Researcher
Financial planning can be intimidating and expensive, often creating barriers to access. But what if simple tools for managing your basic financial planning were available to anyone with an internet connection?
That's the idea behind this personal project I'm developing with my financial planner.
We're kicking things off with retirement planning to help everyday people get a clear picture of their savings goals.
Coming soon: Updates of our launch.
Discover a Vibrant Land of Wonder
River of Grass Exhibition
Role: Experience Designer + Project Manager
With: formula D_
Welcome to the award-winning River of Grass, a playful exhibition celebrating the wonders of Miami’s Everglades.
Designed with young explorers in mind, this prestigious exhibition combines nature, art, and curiosity to bring the vibrant world of the Everglades to life.
I had the pleasure of coordinating teams of expert animators, creative software engineers, and scientists to create a seamless and captivating experience. By diving into in-depth domain research, developing characters, and storyboarding scenes I helped create an interactive ecosystem approved by little adventurers.
The River of Grass journey ignites young minds, inspires imaginations, and fosters a deep appreciation for the Miami Everglades.
River of Grass Interactive Exhibit is a Golden Design Award winner in 2017 - 2018 Interface, Interaction and User Experience Design Award Category.
An Ode To Internet Art
exhibit.gif
Role: Co-founder + Experience Designer
An unforgettable digital exhibition series nestled in the vibrant city of Cape Town.
In a world where internet art passes by in a click, the exhibit.gif collective was formed to challenge the notion that .gifs are fleeting and trivial. We embrace these mesmerising pieces and elevate them within traditional gallery walls.
We extend an open invitation to all self-proclaimed .gif artists. From the submissions, we curate themed one-night-only exhibitions showcasing the diverse talents of over 150 local and international artists.
This poetic celebration of the .gif medium blurs the lines between virtual and physical, creating an immersive space that pays homage to the artistic expression of our digital age.
Exploring
South Africa’s Imprisoned Past
Prison Museum Exhibition
Role: Experience Designer + Project Manager
With: formula D_
The Old Prison Museum in Pietermaritzburg is a thought-provoking establishment that sheds light on the oppressive use of prisons in South Africa's history.
I coordinated a multidisciplinary team to bring the museum's narrative to life. Expertly crafted story panels guide visitors to discover diverse stories from the past while interactive elements and immersive audiovisual installations create personal connections with the stories told.
Dynamic storytelling educates visitors of all ages, encourages reflection, and cultivates a deeper understanding of the societal challenges faced in the past and today. The Old Prison Museum preserves history while fostering meaningful dialogue and inspiring hope.
