About Me

Creative thinker. Builder of ideas. Problem-solver by instinct, designer by choice.

Hi, I’m Tim. I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years. Bar manager, pizza chef, vinyl installer, department head, and each one taught me something different about how to lead, solve problems, and create things that actually work.

Today, I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a strong focus on branding, digital design, and visual communication. I believe good design connects people to ideas,  and great design does it with purpose, clarity, and a touch of boldness.

Over time, I’ve developed a knack for bringing structure to creative chaos. Whether I’m building a 3D model from scratch, creating a brand identity, or guiding a team through a challenging install, I find satisfaction in making complex things feel simple and seamless.

I thrive in collaborative environments where people bring different skills to the table. I enjoy digging into the details, but I also love seeing the bigger picture, and bringing it all together into something that just works.

Design, for me, isn’t just what I do. It’s how I think.

To create design that connects, visually, emotionally, and functionally. I believe in crafting experiences that feel considered and cohesive, whether it’s a logo, a mobile bar mockup, or a full website. My vision is simple: make things that feel good, work well, and communicate clearly.

To bridge the gap between creativity and practicality. I’m here to solve problems, guide ideas into shape, and bring clarity to chaos. That might mean designing a clean visual system, reworking a complex layout, or helping a team align around a shared creative direction.

To keep growing, keep learning, and keep building things that matter. I want to create work that’s not just visually strong, but strategically sound; work that helps people, businesses, and brands communicate better, feel more connected, and stand out for the right reasons.

We were referred to Timothy via another client and we were not disappointed. Timothy is very much approachable and one can connect with him in person. He is very patient and understanding and does his best to listen to your needs to give you what you ask. He is kindhearted and a professional gentlemen.

His work is if very high standard. I wish for Timothy and his business to grow from strength to strength.

I highly recommend Tim, who led our branding department for nearly two years. He brought creativity, consistency, and strategic thinking to our brand — and his rendering work was nothing short of exceptional. Tim played a key role in elevating how we present ourselves across all platforms, and his contributions will be felt for years to come.

Rael Lasarow Managing Director | Thirst Bar Services

I have worked long side Tim for 2 years at a company called Mobile Macs. I functioned in a sales environment, where Tim was the head of the branding & designing department. He is extremely effective with meeting deadlines and client satisfaction. Tim and I worked on both national and international brands (KFC, Nandos, McDonalds etc) where Tim was in charge of designing artwork for their delivery bikes as well as adverts on their delivery bikes. Tim also designed a look and feel for a few ventures that I embarked myself on afterwards. Strongly recommend.
