As the founder and owner of DMR Productions, I pride myself on my versatility as a creative.
I am a creative director, business owner, versatile and award-winning triple-threat actor, voice-artist, writer, producer, editor and musician.
I graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in Theatre and Performance and with a Masters in Film and Television Producing from Met Film School(2019) in London after having received the prestigious Chevening Scholarship.
I have performed in England, USA, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Rwanda, Botswana, Zimbabwe and all across South Africa. I presented at the Oxford Peace Talks 2019 in honour of Kofi Annan and serve as the Creative Director and Trustee on the Board of the Ruben Richards Foundation (NPO). In 2020 I was the director of Project Orange, which delivered 6.8 million oranges across South Africa in the fight against Covid-19.
