Sharné Samuels
Graphic Designer
Sharné is our resident graphic designer. She attained her National Diploma in Graphic Design in 2018 but was practicing design long before then.
She is and old school designer, prefers too work on paper than on screen, often sketching out her next great idea.
Her kind and sweet personality is testament to her fondness of candy and just as candy gets sticky, she gets ‘stuck’ behind her desk as she vigorously brings life to her work and time becomes irrelevant in her busy day.
Marina Provornaya
The Catalyst
Marina is our resident Russian, so don’t mess with her! Jokes aside, Marina comes with international client liaison experience and as such is a great asset in this regard.
Whether you are a new or existing client, you can be sure that when you are dealing with Marina, you will be in professional hands.

Shadow van Zyl
Shadow van Zyl
Company Mascot
Every cat, we have now learnt, has a unique personality. We are delighted with Shadow’s as he is very friendly and tolerant.
What is most fascinating about Shadow is his disregard or should we rather say, comfort with making himself comfortable wherever he chooses; on your lap, your desk or your keyboard. But I guess that’s why we have grown to love him.
