EXPERIENCE
WHEN I DID WHAT, WHERE AND A LITTLE BIT OF HOW
2014-2017
University of Stellenbosch
Bcom in Marketing and Information Studies
I majored in marketing because I am naturally entrepreneurial and I was curious about why people buy things and how to influence that. I soon realised I cared more about users and making their experiences online as seamless as possible. I then took all the IT subjects I could.
2019
ROAM
Marketing Intern
I got an internship at a tech company, perfect environment to learn everything about their tech products and their panAfrican users and do as much research as possible. I managed the email team and coded emails based on user touchpoint flows. I created campaign strategies driven by data and user research I conducted.
2019
ROAM
Junior UX Designer
I was very passionate about getting my hands on more of the data and being able to use that to champion UX in the team. I created user flows, touch point analysis and was part of the research team travelling to Kenya to gather qualitative data from our users so that we could build better products for them. We ran usability tests and conducted interviews.
