As Art Director at ELLE Decoration South Africa, I collaborated with editors, writers, photographers, stylists, and digital teams to shape the visual identity of the publication across print and online platforms. Responsibilities included designing editorial layouts, art directing photoshoots, and developing visual narratives through typography, imagery, and pacing. The work balanced editorial storytelling with strong design craft, creating cohesive and engaging experiences for readers across every issue.
