We launch the careers of talented, ambitious and diverse creators passionate about building new worlds

We’ve been supporting creators at work since 2015.  Right now, it feels harder than ever to make a living from what you love. Too many have lost their jobs during the Covid pandemic. Freelance work is precarious. Automation and digital disruption threatens more jobs. We are all looking for more meaning at work, more flexibility, more freedom, and more balance. We’re all reaching for the reset button.

Gucci 70's inspired shoot...

This project was part of my course with MASTERED and Nick Knight. The brief was to do a put a shoot together inspired by Gucci Spring '16. The challenge was to do so with second hand clothing put together by myself sourced at thrift stores in Johannesburg and creating a 70's scene. This was one successful collaboration with these two gorgeous local models in SA, Amy Harrison, Johan from BOSS Models JHB and a very talented make-up artist, Angie van den Berg.
