Far away from the conventional, in the wild and woolly jungles of (Cape Town, South) Africa, Nandi swings from the vines, travels in packs of bears and howls at the moon. Doodler & big time dreamer ♥

Perhaps she’s a walking contradiction: a creator of sweet things, a rebel of routine; an open mind, filled with exotic creatures and scary bed time stories. During the day (after 11am), she makes muffins with her puppies, doodles superheroes and penguin ballet, and devotes her time to running the art department at Juice, where she plans to take over the world, one pixel at a time.

It took a pirate ship, a giant slide and a papier-mâché teleport machine to get her to move out here from England, where she traditionally studied Fine Art, debated politics and fell in love with literature. Underneath the big African skies, she set aside her cup of tea for bare feet and hot summers and broke all the rules. If only her art teachers could see her now. What wild technology she uses to form images. She jumped into 3D animation for a while, worked within the local gaming community, but now she illustrates, photographs and lovingly reconstructs branding identities, turning meek companies into supermodels, which she really loves the most.

Nandi’s passion for creating bold, vibrant pieces sends her off in a whirlwind of adventures, which suits her, because she’d prefer never to try the same thing twice. She believes in über awesomeness, and stubbornly refuses to settle for anything less than perfect. In her world of ideas, she dreams of making an impact, boldly enabling her clients to gain unimaginable success and creating personal work capable of transforming souls, energizing and inspiring others to live outside life’s colouring-book lines.
