I am CCO / Platform Architect and Co-Founder of FilterFoundry.com. Welcome to our social business network for creative professionals.

I studied Graphic Design and Film at Pretoria Technikon in South Africa, 1992 and furthered studies with certified post college training in 3D modeling with 3ds Max, Maya, Cinema 4D, Advanced Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator as well as programming education in Turbo Pascal, C++, html, and css. In ‘96 I moved to US and joined a startup web design firm called Zentropy Partners, as a senior designer where I had opportunities to conceptualize, design and art direct several well established brand sites for FOX, MGM, Nicole Miller, Nautica, Dean & Deluca, GM Motors and Kenneth Cole, for which I was lucky enough to win an IPPA award and also received recognition as a Clio award finalist for art direction in 1998.
In 2003 I joined a new media agency called Ripe Digital as Creative Director. My role at Ripe was to creatively reinvent non-intrusive, yet entertaining overlay advertising for short form video content, on Broadband, VOD and Mobile and had the privilege of working with agencies and companies such as BBDO, Saatchi & Saatchi, Wieden Kennedy, Media Storm, Electronic Arts, Proctor & Gamble, Activision, Castrol, Mind Share, SONY, Dodge, Boost Mobile, AT&T, Old Spice, SCION, Axe and Microsoft.
In 2009 Ripe Digital was sold and so the process started to build what you see today out of pure passion and a clear need I experienced in the industry from doing what I do for the past 16 years. Filter Foundry was established with good friend and partner Patrick Bradley (CEO) who sold Zentropy to IPG, in 2000. Over the past year of development Filterffoundry.com has evolved into a fully functional massive social network market-place with in depth features and tools for Creative Professionals word wide to be more productive and have the ability to make money.
Filter Foundry officially launched in January of 2011 and we hope all designers who visit the site find it a pleasing experience and make it their new home for portfolio sharing and connecting with others to help them elevate their careers. We are open to any feedback you might have, so don’t hesitate to message me. The site is ever evolving and we are constantly adding new features to improve the UX and way features are presented.
