HI THERE!

I am JD Swanepoel, a graphic designer based in Free State, South Africa... for now.

I have over a decade of experience in various design disciplines, including brand identities, book layouts, product and packaging design, advertising, social media, digital work and some experience with web development and animation. In recent years, I have also started going down the path of 3D artwork and rendering.


After working at a few companies over the years. I have realised that most design principals can be applied across most design mediums. If you can do one, you should be able to easily pick up the other.

Therefore, I believe in endless learning. I am always looking into new disciplines, be it a building project, learning a new skill, or learning how to use new software to advance my design skills. There is always something new to learn.

My friends and family say I am friendly, funny, loyal, and kind. Traits that fit into an environment where customer satisfaction or working in a team is priority.

Thank you for viewing my Design Portfolio!
