Neo is a film and media producer based in Cape Town with a keen interest in edutainment, sports and pop culture. Between 2017 - 2023, I worked for Okuhle Media as a Content Researcher. In 2019 I took a dive into the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean and joined Robben Island Museum as a Multimedia Assistant until late 2021.
When the world was overtaken by an outbreak of the pandemic, I explored work in the digital space. I embarked on these unchartered territories with the Ayoba App, an MTN digital buffet of real-time content platforms. Here my role was a Content Specialist whose main function was to administer and curate content.
As the dust settled and clouds cleared, I expanded my horizons and took a major step on my creative journey. I joined as a Content Producer for Ginkgo Agency, working on the Beautiful News platform in October 2021.
This is where my artistry took an upward trajectory until the beginning of 2023. My key role as a Content Producer is to research, pitch and profile ordinary humanitarians, previewing interesting travel destinations, wildlife organizations and individuals protecting endangered species. In the midst of it all, I created my own passion project in 2022, A Gown Of A Thousand Mile where I opened a platform for former varsity Graduates to share their experiences and offer words of wisdom.
