Get to know me
Hey there! I'm Carey Slade, a creative based in Johannesburg with nearly two decades experience in the local creative industry. My journey started with a BA in Graphic Design and has evolved through various roles, from packaging design to graphic design, art direction, photography and more recently web/UI design. I been fortunate enough to have worked on some of the South Africa’s most loved brands and alongside some of the sharpest, brilliant creative minds in advertising. I currently run my own photography and design studio, bringing a personal touch and a lot of passion to every project that I work on.
My Appraoch
I believe in understanding the core business challenges and identifying the unique selling propositions of the products and brands I work with. While I have a knack for making things look good, my ultimate goal is to solve the challenges my clients face. I enjoy distilling complex problems into simple, understandable solutions. As a creative problem solver, I stay up-to-date with the latest trends without letting them dictate my approach. My attention to detail and pride in my work drive me to deliver high-quality results that exceed expectations. I listen closely to my clients and maintain a personal, hands-on approach throughout each project.
