    A degree in publishing and many years of design experience allow me to craft content into informative reports, elegant annual reports, appealing magazines, dynamic websites or just about any other design. My specializations are long-form reports, annual reports and technical illustrations. My style is precise and detailed and I always aim to communicate ideas as clearly as possible. I use all the latest design tools and software and am flexible according to the needs of a design project. I speak fluent English and German. Some notable companies I have designed for include: The UN, WWF, J&J, REN21 and SLOCAT. Along with my talented wife, I founded Kadi creative design solutions. At Kadi everything is designed with an end-goal and an audience in mind. The projects we work on are clear, presentable, fitting and vibrant. Before founding my own design agency, I worked as head of production of Supernova, the mag for curious kids for 5 years. There I managed the production of the magazine from concept through to print. Besides a degree in publishing, I also have my Abitur in German and have completed several advanced courses in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.

    18 years of experience in design, brand creation and illustration have given me sharp instincts, which allow me to turn around projects in rapid time with a high level of craft. I've worked on projects of all sizes from branding for multinational companies to the humble, local bakery. I apply the same passion and standards for each. That said, I'm not "too proud to listen". I can give my advice and experience but ultimately the person closest to the brand is you and your knowledge and input are gladly accepted. I've produced copywriting for print and TV advertising, email campaigns and promotions. My illustration follows a freehand, flowing style full of character and expression. My design is influenced strongly by Swiss Style, Cubism and Deconstructivism but I adapt each project to what will work best for the client.

Kind regards, Pieter Please read on, for a further break down of my skills and experience... Digital painting software is now finally sophisticated enough to stand abreast with traditional media like oil and acrylic paint, ink and wash, graphite and other dry media. A pressure-sensitive pen and tablet, combined with powerful software, makes it possible to very accurately simulate real-world brush behaviour and mark-making. I am proficient in these applications and keep the skill at the bleeding edge: 1. Digital Painting/Illustration: Krita 4.4.8 2. Raster art, photo and image manipulation (Photoshop, GIMP, Krita) 3. Vector art: Inkscape 4. 3D modelling, texturing and rendering: Blender 5. RAW photography, post-processing: Darktable 6. Typesetting and final artwork layout for print: Scribus

    Hello! I have over 20 years experience in the design industry and have been on Upwork since it started. I used to own my own design agency in Johannesburg, South Africa for almost 10 years and managed a team of designers, as well as design myself. I now am freelancing full time and have moved to the beautiful Cape region of South Africa. I absolutely love what I do, I do it well and quickly and above all - clients love my work and always return for further projects. I specialize in branding projects, logos, brochures and PowerPoint. What I am not: A fly-by-night, clip-art template designer. What I am: A deliverer of quality work, on-time, great work ethics, and I am always available to chat about the work. Looking forward to connecting. Regards Tasja
