What’s your background?
I studied architecture as my first degree at th University of Cape Town, after graduating I moved to London to work for architect David Adjaye.

What influences your work as a designer?
Graphics and images hugely influence my work. I’m a bit of a visual junkie, so I’m always photographing or sketching away.
This collection was heavy influenced the visual and cultural collisions that exist within Durban taxi ranks. And my next collection is looking heavily into the degradation of modernist buildings within an African context, so it really all depends on what grabs me at that moment.

I’m usually influenced alot by African artists and writers.
