Design + Art Direction

ABOUT


Hi!

I’m Teneka, a multidisciplinary associate creative director (art) and designer.

I’m passionate about design and how it can be used to craft stories and experiences that enhance people's lives. I strive to create work people can connect with, that not only moves them emotionally, but prompts them to think. I truly believe that all the answers exist in the world around us and searching for that knowledge is my inspiration.

I’m a foodie, and in my free time when I’m not experimenting with recipes, I am off discovering a new foreign city. I love solo travel and actually took a life-changing trip to Africa, traveling from Cape Town to Cairo — best decision ever!

If you like what you see, feel free to get in touch!
