About Me

I operate at the intersection of technology, communication, and practical impact. My work spans EdTech, digital marketing, coding, and automotive lead generation—four industries that demand clarity, innovation, and user-centred thinking. That’s where I build.

As the Marketing & Communications Manager at OURS, I shape how schools discover and adopt technology that genuinely improves teaching and learning. I ensure our solutions reach the educators and learners who need them most.

I'm also the founder of GETCARS.ZA, a tech-driven automotive lead-gen platform, and THE DIGITIZE, a development studio where we build websites for organisations creating a digital footprint.

Services

The Digitize — Development studio focused on building pragmatic websites and simple platforms that help organisations establish and grow their digital footprint. We specialise in small business sites, landing pages, and e-commerce setups that convert.

GETCARS.ZA — A tech-driven automotive lead-generation platform. We design funnels and systems to connect sellers and buyers efficiently, improving lead quality and conversion for dealerships and private sellers alike.

If you'd like, I can add short case examples that show impact (traffic, leads, conversion) for each service.
