01Profile

From national retail floorplates at Pick n Pay to the systems hidden above the ceiling — design that works as hard as it looks.

Interior designer and space planner (National Diploma, University of Johannesburg) with a career spanning retail store design, shopfitting and technical building systems. As lead concept designer and BIM manager at Pick n Pay, drove national store space planning and the company-wide migration from AutoCAD to Revit Architecture. Equally at home client-side: sales, quoting, supplier liaison and project coordination up to R4 million.
