I began my career after studying Animation at CityVarsity Film and Multimedia School as a freelance Graphic Designer,
creating business packages (logos, business cards, letterheads, invitations, collages, etc) while working in hospitality for added income until late 2009.
I then started working for Clockwork Zoo, where I began as a Background Artist and moved to Storyboarding, doing boards for
Cookie Jar’s ‘Caillou’ and for Playhouse Disney’s ‘Florrie’s Dragons’.
Sadly, the company closed down in late 2010.
Thereafter I returned to my Freelance Illustration and Graphic Designing until early 2011.
I then became a Graphic Designer for 3@1 Business and Communication where I broadened my knowledge of designing and also learnt
printing, packaging, stretching of canvas.
In early 2013 I started as a Storyboard Artist, Character Designer, Background Artist, Prop Designer and Animator for Bubblegum Educational Design until March 2015.
I simply cannot emphasize enough what an incredibly good job Albertus did for me from start to finish. Not only is he a talented artist but he is insightful and intuitive. He really took my project to the next level. I will definitely be using him again in the future. Thank you!
After Clockwork Zoo's untimely end, I returned to the world of Freelance Design,
primarily doing projects for my church and for a new starting company
called activist, which mostly required storyboards.

My first company job was at first as a Background Artist and the a Storyboard Artist
for Clockwork Zoo, then South Africa's largest Animation Studio.
As a Storyboard Artist, I worked on 6 episodes
of Cookie Jar's internationally acclaimed children's show, 'Caillou' (fifth season)
and 13 episodes of Wish Films and Playhouse Disney's 'Florrie's Dragons'.
Sadly, the company closed down in late 2010 and we all had to go
our separate ways.
