Some of the places I've worked and the people I've worked with
Ask Around
My first online business, possibly ahead of its time.
Earl and Dagne at Foil media helped me put it together.
The website is no longer visible but the blog articles are still online here.
Work with local artisans
Cape Town
South Africa
Vincent and Maxwell were two of the craftspeople I worked with in Cape Town, helping them secure their supply of materials, settle into workshop space and weather business set-backs.
See more pictures of their amazing work here.
Montessori Education
Cape Town
South Africa
A parent-owned Montessori nursery school. Working with parents, teachers, pre-schoolers and other stakeholders to create a safe, multicultural environment in post-apartheid, South Africa.
Barefoot, Ceylon
Social enterprise producing beautiful handloom fabrics, toys, clothes, linens and much, much more.
I returned to design work in 1989 when Barbara and Dominic Sansoni asked me to create toys, furniture, clothes, POS materials and lots, lots more for the amazing Barefoot workshops and retail spaces.
Famine relief in Western Sudan
CARE International
Western Sudan
Several years of drought left remote communities few options but migration to overcrowded towns. Food distribution, particularly supplementary feeding for children, avoided displacement for some villages and saved many lives.
This unique gallery of pictures tells some of the story.
Refugee employment workshops
Sudanaid
Eastern Sudan
I was assigned to the Sudanaid workshops as a technical volunteer to provide design, training and workshop management for 7 workshops across 5 refugee settlements.
