Hi there, I’m Anna 🎨
A Cape Town-based art director, strategic thinker, and practical creative who loves building brands, campaigns, and stories that make people feel something, not just anything, but something real.
After years in agencies - jumping between social, illustration, print, and above the line concept - I started AKD as a more personal way of working. Closer to the ideas, closer to the craft, and closer to the people and the insights behind the brands.
GOOD BRANDS GET SEEN. GREAT BRANDS GET FELT.
-
Big campaign thinking built to shift perception, spark emotion, and get people talking.
-
From retail to activation to tactical ideas, the details that bring brands into the real world.
-
Social-first creative that feels native, culturally relevant, and worth stopping for.
-
Identity systems, visual worlds, and brand thinking designed to make businesses unforgettable.
-
Shelf presence meets storytelling; design that earns attention and invites interaction.
