A BOOM, a CRASH, and a BLAST of COLOUR and WONDER, this is what I, Anele Mkhize, am all about. My specialisation in packaging/product design and 2D animation reflects my philosophy of connecting people to their inner-child through rich narratives and vibrant design. It is because I strive to embed a lasting impact in the work I do that I am always driven to learn new ways of connecting people through design.

My brand message is, "Connecting people, one tinker at a time.", which demonstrates that I am committed to changing perspectives.

Design with purpose, and a little bit of chaos. That’s my philosophy. It’s what fuels my approach to UX design, UI design, and illustration. I believe that great design should make people feel something, either emotionally, culturally, or even subconsciously. Every piece I create aims to connect meaning with experience, ensuring that the work isn’t just visually appealing, but deeply memorable. In an industry that thrives on change, I’m driven to find clarity in the chaos by pushing creative boundaries, experimenting boldly, and designing with intent. Because purpose and play aren’t opposites

My wish is to design work that tells meaningful stories, challenges expectations, and connects communities.

My whole world is based around design; Hi I'm Quinn and design is everything to me.
