About Me

I am the founder and owner of Beanbag Media, a social media and design agency based out of Cape Town. I also have a few ties with World Wide Creative, whom I consult for and develop strategies for their online marketing team.

I’ve been named as one of 300 young South Africans to take to lunch by the Mail & Guardian as well as spoken at a couple of conferences as well as held workshops on Social Media, blogging and online marketing. I also run a number of niche blogs covering topics such as technology, music and entertainment.

Below are some interesting things that will allow you to get to know me better.

I Love

  • Karina, my beautiful wife.
  • All things web. And I mean everything. If it’s online, I want to know about, visit and use it.
  • WordPress.
  • PHP. I am a self-taught PHP developer and if the likes of Facebook are developed using PHP, you know it has to rock.
  • Apple – I own a Macbook Pro, iPod Nano and an iPhone 3GS.
  • Sport. Particularly Chelsea, Western Province, all SA national teams and everything Ferrari.
  • Cooking. Good food and wine.
  • To travel. I really want to see as much of the World as I possibly can.

I dislike

  • Old school corporates. I don’t want to work in a cubicle farm on some legacy website or application where I must come dressed in a suit just to impress my CRT monitor.
  • Weird vegetables like cauliflower, brussel sprouts and any form of beans.
  • Spammers, pyramid schemes and get rich quick people.
  • Fixing hardware and networking problems. I want to work on a PC, not in one.

What I think I’m particularly good at

  • Web and UI Design
  • PHP
  • Entrepreneurship
  • leading, learning and listening
  • Networking with like minded individuals

What I could be better at

  • Perseverance to see some of my projects through
  • Organising!
  • Design.
  • Being more like Him.
