Elizma Stoltz

Third-year BA Graphic Design student at North-West University with practical experience in graphic design, branding, content creation and social media. I enjoy turning ideas and research into engaging visual communication, from initial concept development through to final design and production. My experience combines creative thinking with hands-on design, content development, client communication and social media management.

I am particularly interested in branding, digital content, campaign development and visual storytelling, and enjoy creating work that feels current, engaging and relevant to its audience.
