IUCN iPhone app
For the IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, we rejuvenated the organisation’s purpose and designed a complete new visual grid. One of many elements was to produce this app for the serious conservationist that supplies daily information about the state of the planet. The app provides in-depth access to current ‘hot-issue’ cases across the planet and informs, interacts, guides, and unites all stakeholders to a healthier planet for all. (The IUCN is the world’s oldest and largest global environmental network – a democratic membership union with more than 1,000 government and NGO member organizations, and almost 11,000 volunteer scientists in more than 160 countries.)
The design was built to express the following goals: 1. We wanted to IUCN’s identity to reflect its stature and authority – and to make the organisation look unapologetically modern and professional. Funding from governments and multinationals is critical. 2. The grid of dots represents IUCN’s global network of experts and how the organisation can link them together to create informed decisions. The dots also represent the interconnectedness of life. 3. The images are either from very high up or from very close – to communicate the scale and the detail with which IUCN works.
Hulma. Turning the World on its Head.
This is all fictional, but I sometimes wonder what would have happened if my Dad’s fashion business had taken off in the sixties and seventies, when he took over his father’s clothing business called Hulma. What would it be like today? How exciting could it be storing some of the finest brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Wallis, Calvin Klein, Hermes and Girbaud? And how could I help to create powerful communication design would turn the world on its head, attracting customers from all over? E-commerce and advertising / POS elements.

Employee Empowerment on the African Continent
African economies are changing fast. It is challenging for any organisation to operate in them, but with more than 1 billion potential customers at hand, the prospects are gigantic. Africa’s hallmark is diversity and widespread research has learned that organisations owning purpose-lead strategies tap better into Africa’s growth rewards than organisations that don’t. African governments and communities will continue to welcome responsible and committed investment that create meaning beyond realising their common profit growth aims. In return, governments offer greater regional access, integration and infrastructure development that hold the prospect of a more connected continent. Purpose matters in Africa, perhaps more than in any other continent — fostering an over-arching goal that can lead to a better life, a better experience, a better relation or better service. It’ll boost your company’s affluence, growth and loyalty. But beware, no purpose-strategy is self-executing: you have to make it real. Sustainable success in Africa is increasingly turning on identifying, nurturing and retaining talented and committed local staff. As a business operating on the African continent, MultiChoice Africa (MCA) is very conscious of its responsibility towards its employee development. The MCA Employee Report communicates its African experiences, stories, goals, and why the business invests so heavily in Africa’s future. It understands that the success of its operations and the prosperity of the communities in which it operates are closely linked to its over-arching purpose: by ENRICHING LIVES, the company actively participates in social transformation and, through technology, enables individuals and communities to help themselves.
MultiChoice Africa’s activities involve the operation of Pay-Television and internet subscriber platforms across the African continent.
