In 2008 I took a mid-career break and decided to do my Masters in Public Relations in London. One of the
best decisions I ever made in my life. I did my thesis in International PR exploring Hofstede's cultural dimensions
within the context of effective PR strategization and implementation. The paper also attempted
to question the validity of existing PR theories on communications in the Southern African region, specifically
looking at government communications. A few links to my assignments...

My undergrad years were equally special. In a different way. I did a 4-year Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts (BFA)
with specialization in Applied Art. It was a time to be creative and dream. And slog. And have a lot of fun. I have
included below a handful of my projects from my 4th year. Each project included conceptualizing, copy-writing and
producing camera ready artwork in response to a provided challenge. |
