FOUNDER & LEAD DESIGNER

Hi there! You can call me Mics. You’ve made it this far, so now I consider us friends!
I’m the founder and creative juice behind Tangerine Designs – a design studio built on bold ideas, meaningful visuals, and a love for making brands tangibly unforgettable.

My design story started with interior design, where I studied how spaces could tell stories through form, colour, and mood. But soon, my love for design stretched beyond four walls.
I dipped into freelancing, helping small businesses bring their visions to life. That path led me to a full-time role with Future Females, where I created scroll-stopping content and crafted brand stories that empowered thousands of entrepreneurs across the globe.
Working in this environment, surrounded by independent, powerful women building their own paths, I felt deeply inspired. That inspiration became the spark to start Tangerine Designs – my own creative studio dedicated to turning bold ideas into juicy, tangible design experiences. From packaging you’ll want to keep forever to rebrands that feel like the fresh-squeezed version of your vision, I’m here to help you make it pop (and peel-good while doing it).
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of working with movers, makers, and go-getters of all kinds – from global icons like Puma and Maybelline to local favourites that have become my second home. In fact, if life were a game of Monopoly, I’d probably already have Regent Road in Sea Point locked down. With Scheckter’s Raw, Shift Espresso Bar, Una Más, New York Slice, Libertino, Qué Linda, Primi and The Conscious Kitchen all on my designer “property portfolio,” let’s just say I’ve unofficially cornered the market on that strip.
What excites me most is helping business owners transform ideas into brands that don’t just look good but feel right – wearable, shareable, printable, scroll-stopping, and always a little extra zesty. But more than that, I have the absolute privilege of being part of your business journey and helping you achieve those big, juicy goals.
So whether you’re just starting out or ready for a juicy brand refresh, I’m here to help you create something bold, beautiful, and impossible to ignore.
If you’re looking for design that feels as good as it looks — let’s chat.
