đź‘‹ Hi, I'm Justin
About
I am an award-winning, multi-discipline designer with a verifiable history of working with global finance and technology teams. I have a curious mind and voracious passion for design thinking and user experience.
I lead the strategy and vision of an all-encompassing range of projects. I hold significant industry experience and thorough technical knowledge. As an agile advocate, I am an effective, fastidious and ambitious design leader with an insatiable desire to collaborate and innovate.
Design principles
These are the ideas that guide my creative decisions.
With the end-user in mind, I believe design should always make things work better. When design is practical, the look and feel come together naturally.
Simplicity wins every time. Simplicity means removing unnecessary complexity and focusing on what counts.
My goal is to create designs that work seamlessly and delight users, leaving a lasting, positive impression.
My process
I follow a human-centred design thinking approach as well as the Lean UX mindset which embraces lean and agile methodologies, to ensure my design decisions are iterative, and are supported by research and feedback.

Hobbies & Interests
I’m an active person who thrives on being outdoors, whether I’m with family, surfing, or competing in road cycling, running (both road and trail), and triathlons. Health and fitness are central to my lifestyle, and I’m always seeking new challenges that push my physical and mental limits.
Before moving back to Cape Town, I spent nearly 20 years living and working in the UK. I’ve also had the opportunity to live in Australia, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and environments. My travels across Europe, parts of North America, and Canada have enriched my perspective and fueled my passion for adventure, well-being, and staying connected to nature.
