Hi, I'm Graeme, a passionate and experienced South African Art Director with many years under my belt, having worked at some of South Africa's best agencies with some of the best people in the industry. Having bravely done a stint abroad to work at one of Germany's top shops, I’ve gained valuable international work and life experience. I’m a friendly creative that is fueled by curiosity, a passion for generating ideas, and a love for making things. Whether it's a big campaign or a tiny but mighty idea, I always aim to produce great, effective work—and have fun while doing it.
