ABOUT ME

HI! πŸ‘‹

Pumla Profile Picture

I'm Pumla & I love designing websites.

I specialise in front-end development, and although I work with personal brands, I’m especially drawn to designing for NGOs, start-ups, and community projects.

It comes from my experience with social change initiatives plus my roots as a Social Worker (PhD) and a BCom Industrial & Organizational Psychology graduate. I get how things work, from the people to the programmes to the purpose. No pressure 😊.

I am a great listener, diligent & I design websites that actually feel good to use; it's where functionality meets empathy.

I am excited about opportunities where I can grow, contribute fresh ideas & turn concepts into bold realities.
