Graphic Designer
Packaging Designer
Illustrator
Web Developer
Hello, how can I help?
My name is Riette. I am a graphic designer based in George, Western Cape, South Africa, but I have clients all over the world.
I studied to become a graphic designer, but I specialised in illustration because of my love for art and drawing. After my studies, I’ve moved on to be a graphic designer – art director, a bit of a production manager – styling + photography and more.
I like a challenge, hence my main game has shifted to web development and packaging design in the past couple of years. However, my first love will always be ink & paper, pencil and paint.
I am an independent designer, illustrator and developer with a hands-on approach. I like to balance form and function, believing both is required in equal measure in order to develop a good product.

A few hings I like:

I am mom to Charlie ♀, my special limited edition adopted from Odin. She works with me most of the time. >>

I can def HIGHLY recommend Riëtte!
We’ve been making use of her freelance services since 2013 – ranging pitch design work, banner ads (animated), staff welcome pack designs (illustrations), award entry submissions, wallpaper designs, office interior decals/designs … gosh and so much more!
We pretty much use her for everything 🙂
She extremely efficient, used to (VERY) short turnaround times and always willing to go the extra mile.
She’s whipped out the most amazing things for us overnight (you know, pitch pressure).
