Hello, I’m Desray, a strategic creative from South Africa, currently living and working in Johannesburg, Dubai, Leeds London (and beyond).
Do you have a project you need some fresh and strategic thinking on? Let's hatch a plan together!

Or Facebook: The Inquisitive Creative
I began my life as a designer in Johannesburg. Studying in an eclectic part of town opened my eyes to a variety of palettes, from language and culture to colour and texture. These served as diverse building blocks for my time at The Brand Union (now Superunion). 3 years later I was facing my next challenge and with an itch to travel, I joined the Dubai office. After 4,5 years I decided to leap further North. Working and travelling around Europe these last 13 (!) years have given me an abundance of exposure to how design lives, breathes and interacts within environments.
Or for the fancy spiel:
Brand consultant, employee experience, engagement and event professional.
I am a hands-on senior, strategic creative. I create homogeneous, channel agnostic design solutions from brand identity to employee experience to retail environments, experiential spaces and events. Global in outlook, I have worked in several major centres and collaborated with international teams to deliver the right solutions for complex, global businesses.
