Hi, I'm Abby - a highly skilled Graphic and UI designer based in Cape Town.
‍
I am an A+ Visual Creative and I have been around for a while. Why do I call myself A+? Because I can guarantee your company the best marks in the industry if you choose me. With a growing list of skills ranging from logo & brand creation, flyer & poster design to user experience & user interface design and a whole lot more - I’ve definitely got you covered!
‍
I started as a graduate landing a job in the modelling industry with a branding challenge that resulted in a whole new look and feel for the agency, from logo and print collateral to emailers and a website design, this was the 1st taste of designing for the real world. Since then I have worked as a freelancer for various companies and clients ranging from local to international. I have worked in an agile environment which gave me the opportunity to get to know the key players within my team and how I fit into the equation as a creative asset. This has afforded me the opportunity to grow and learn and appreciate the various skills needed to make a project come to life.

One of the most rewarding parts of being a designer is creating opportunities for your users to enjoy the best experience possible.

As a designer I am always striving to learn and to grow, I'd like to think of myself as a sponge; the world is my creative juice and Google and YouTube are among my best friends.
‍
With all that I have learnt, I am confident that I can deliver the best project that will land you top marks in your industry to achieve your business goal!

Abby has a keen eye for design. I have had the pleasure of working with her at GLI where we have collaborated together on several occasions. She has the ability to take an idea and prototype it, always coming back with exactly what you asked for. She is a must have in any UI/design discussions as she knows what works and what doesn't. Abby will be an asset to any company.
