Profile
I am currently the New Media Specialist at Avusa Media’s (formerly Johncom) innovation unit (iLab), which focuses on developing cutting-edge mobile & web applications for the South African internet. I am responsible for managing these projects, consulting on all related issues and researching new commercial online and mobile products.
In 2007, I was involved in the successful launch of The Times and the conceptualization, implementation and management of The Times Multimedia operation. As the appointed Times Multimedia Production Editor, I oversaw the general technical production of multimedia products; developed rich media style guides and strategies, as well as managing and training a team of multimedia producers.
My experiences lie within the visual, social, and new media arena, where I am increasingly involved in researching trends, advising on new emerging technologies, content and newsroom workflows, and the implementation and roll-out of such new technologies within corporate environments.
I regularly produce reviews of technical gadgets for Nudjit, a South African web site of which I was a co-founder .
In 2006 I also co-founded the award winning student resource site, Jo’s Toolkit, which won the highly acclaimed Highway Africa Innovative Use of New Media Award.
I have freelanced as a professional photographer for five years, having worked for publications such as The Sunday Times, Mail & Guardian, Oprah Magazine, Glamour, The Daily Dispatch, and Beeld.
In 2005 I was invited to exhibit my photographic community project “Project: Pictures for Life” at the Glocal OpenBC event at the World Trade Centre in Rotterdam, and as a solo exhibition at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa.
