Brands I've worked on

"Over the past 6 years, Shejali has become one of our most trusted creative partners and something of a secret weapon for our business. She has a rare knack for grasping a brief at depth, adapting her style to different clients, and consistently delivering high-quality work with very little hand-holding. We know she'll deliver on time and at a high level, which is exactly what we need from a creative partner."
“There are very few creatives I work with who craft work at the level that Shejali does. Being a creative myself I usually find something that needs improvement or tightening to get a project over the line. With Shejali that’s seldom the case. It’s pretty much perfect when she delivers it. A rare find and a pleasure to work with”

"We absolutely loved working with Shejali. We found her on LinkedIn and really liked her portfolio. We started working together and were so impressed that we started giving her more and more projects, that we ended up working together for several years. She took our brand from nothing and turned it into this amazing tech brand that felt really fresh and exciting. She always had creative ideas. Overall, it was a really positive experience."

Hi, I'm Shay,

I'm a designer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I help turn ideas into something people can see, understand and connect with. Whether it's a brand identity, publication or digital experience, every project starts by understanding the intention behind it.

I don't believe my job is to come up with the idea for you. Most people already know what they want to say; they just haven't found the right way to say it yet. My role is to listen, ask the right questions, and translate that into a visual language that feels honest to them.

Over the past decade, I've worked with agencies, start-ups and established businesses across branding, editorial and digital design. The medium changes from project to project. The process doesn't.

Where ideas take form.

Every project is different, but the goal is always the same: to give an idea a form people can see, understand and connect with.

Some ideas arrive fully formed. Others need a little uncovering. Either way, I'd love to help bring yours into the world.

Let's talk.
