My Background
I am Koketso Makgala, a graduate student of Inscape's transformative Bachelor of Design specialising in Ideation Design. I am a dynamic and results-oriented ideation designer with a passion for transforming concepts into tangible solutions. My Bachelor of Design, specializing in Ideation, equipped me with a strong foundation in creative problem-solving and innovative thinking. Proficient in design software like Adobe Illustrator, XD, and Premiere Pro, I complement my technical skills with strong presentation abilities.
My professional journey has been a blend of creative exploration and practical application. A recent six-week internship at Loughborough University allowed me to develop social media campaigns and contribute to a community engagement project. Prior experiences at FCB Africa and Kashan Advertising provided invaluable insights into the advertising industry, while my role at Digicall Group honed my communication and problem-solving skills in a fast-paced environment.
