Russell Browne

I am a marketing graduate, self-taught web developer & entrepreneur enthusiast based in Cape Town, combining strategic thinking with a strong bias for execution. After completing a BCom in Marketing and an Advanced Diploma in Marketing, Advertising and Communications, I founded SASSY (we-sassy.com), a clothing brand designed around a feeling rather than an observation. Alongside building SASSY, I've developed 5+ websites for clients in the art, hardware, car-care, homeware and retail sectors, turning ideas into practical, results-driven digital experiences.

I'm energized by environments where originality, structure and growth can work together. In the past my free time was spent in the wineries, picking up a critical & enjoyable skill of becoming an official wine steward, which helped me recognise the importance of customer experience and execution.
