Design Greats Presentation
The brief required the design of either a commemorative postage stamp, a banknote, medallion or cloth badge that articulated the core characteristics of my favourite designer/architect or design movement. The visual should adequately describe the personality and or the artistic/creative/design preferences of the designer/architect or movement that was selected.
Design Manifesto Presentation
The brief required the creation of my own personal Design Manifesto that would form part of SpacEx essential design knowledge capsule that will be sent with every exploration mission for the next three years (www.spacex.com/missions). The Design Manifesto, a sort of design guide, that can, one day. be considered as a ‘tool’ or a gift that you can be passed on as a legacy to other younger designers. The number of ‘rules’ or ‘suggestions’ that are conveyed had to be carefully considered. The quality of the content, and the rationale were of utmost importance and needed to be backed up by appropriated design research.

Defining a Value Proposition & Business Model Canvas
This project and assignment's aim was to provide a solution to a social problem. The problem addressed was the 2017 data pricing concerns by South African residents, the solution is still relevant due to the future mapping and future forecasting components of Ideation design.
Diploma in Architectural Technology
Architecture
Partially completed. My eagerness in wanting to improve on how to best, graphically, present my architectural design projects caused me to seek a certificate in the Basics of Graphic Design. This sparked my interest in visual communication design and information architecture, thus causing me to pivot.
