1982 - 1984        National Diploma: Industrial Design - Technikon Witwatersrand, School of Art and Design.

My primary interest has been in building up the research/academic capacity of the department which had, till 1995, been virtually non-existent. This is especially important in South Africa for building the status of industrial design and for grooming students to be future design critics and design lobbyists, and for inculcating a sense of unique identity through the desire to extend the boundaries of industrial design in South Africa.
2003 – 2004        I registered and completed my Masters degree in Industrial Design, titled African Style in Cast Products, which proposes a set of strategies for developing unique styles, and thus unique identities, that can be recognised as emanating from Africa.
