The Nitty Gritty

Completing a BA degree in Applied Design in 2005 from Stellenbosch Academy and Photography, Fred has been working in the creative industry since.

Two foundation years at Room 13 Design, Cape Town, introduced him to the design industry where he did work for clients such as Spier Arts, Gavin Rajah, Jane Raphaely and Visi Magazine.

Joining Off the Wall Contemporary, Paarl, in 2008, he contributed to the opening of the design studio, alongside the already existing contemporary gallery. He had the opportunity to experience and explore the fine arts scene as a designer, exhibiting with artists such as Chris Diedericks, Gordon Froud, Michael Taylor and others.

He has also been privileged to have exhibited at The Design Indaba Expo, KKNK, Homemakers Expo and Whatiftheworld Gallery.

Since January 2009 he has been freelancing as graphic designer / artist / illustrator.
