ABOUT US
Designing and creating handmade goods is my work and passion. As a child, I loved putting pencil to paper and building things with my hands. This love of creating stuck with me through school and beyond, where I studied and taught graphic and web design, desk top publishing, as well as design & technology.
I started out in my Dad's framing shop, Sandton Art & Framing, in Johannesburg in the 1970s and 80s, travelled to London in the 90s, and I've designed books, magazines, websites, adverts and flyers in the 2000s. Eventually, in 2017, not able to stay away from the physical act of building things, I opened The Framery, Hout Bay Art & Framing, where every day we get to build beautiful frames for incredible spaces. Heaven.
