10 lessons I’ve collected from women 🤍

A little collection from my notes — thoughts, reminders and lessons I’ve kept with me from the women I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. 

Founders, leaders, creatives, mentors, friends. Women who have challenged me, backed me and inspired me. These are a few of the lessons I’m carrying forward in my work, in my life and in the woman I’m still becoming. Some taught through their words, and others simply through the way they showed up.

Happy Women’s Day 💐

we made these jeans for you 💙

26 events for @cottonon_africa later… and this one hit different.

When the brief landed to launch the Edition 91 denim collection, it felt like more than just another event. It was an opportunity to tell the story of where the brand began and turn that into something people could step into.

And for every moment you see, there are hundreds you never will…

It’s countless venue walk-throughs.
It’s moodboards that level up with every meeting.
It’s group chats buzzing with new ideas. 
It’s production plans and supplier briefings.
It’s finding the right partners, the right DJs and the right creative team.
It’s obsessing over details some may never notice but always feel.

Then comes my favourite part.

The part when in a matter of seconds, the space you’ve spent weeks building is no longer yours. It’s handed over to the community to own and the brief is no longer a brief anymore. It’s become something people can feel.

That’s the part I’ll never stop chasing. Not the event itself.
But the moment a brand story stops being told and starts being lived. 

A huge thank you to @candice.agustoni & @chanellenaidoo. Thank you for continually trusting me and giving our @itsamood.sa team the space to bring the vision to life. Your unwavering belief in us is something I never take for granted.

To my team — @cleopatramarco, @courtsss.dk & @kklevick — thank you for the heart and every detail you’ve poured into this. The best part of every project is getting to build it alongside you. You remind me, time and time again, why it is I love what I do 

And last but not least, thank you to every partner who played a part in bringing this moment to life — @espressolabza, @converse.za and everyone who said “yes” and backed the vision from the jump. We couldn’t have done it without you 🙂‍↕️

26 events later, and this one reminded me how much more I’m still capable of, and just how much more there is to build 🫶🏽

Loved planning this for @cottonon_africa 💙🧵🪡

A weekend of personalised embroidery by @meraki.custom.co, free coffee & pastries from @plato.coffee, styling sessions with @nomzamo.keswa, good music by @deniecemarz, and even better people.

There’s nothing better than watching an idea become a real experience that people connect with.

Definitely one of those reminders of why I love what I do ✨ #cottononafrica #dayinthelife #girlsinmarketing

I Was lucky enough to shoot @cottonon_africa first campaign here in South Africa this year for @cottonon curvy denim range. Producing this job came with its challenges but we managed to get all in order and very proud of the results. 
Client needed Studio, location and video with the campaign being shot majority on medium format film.
A lot to take on but I always like a challenge and very stoked how the film turned out.

A massive thank you to everyone involved with helping this come to life ❤️‍🔥
