Hi, I'm Tanya

Storytelling has been central to my life since childhood. Both my parents were journalists at mainstream newspapers and I grew up listening to the stories behind the stories and hearing the comical and entertaining tales of life in a newsroom.

​

This led me to complete an undergraduate degree in English and History at Stellenbosch University followed by an honours degree in journalism. 

​

My career kicked off as a text journalist for weekly newspaper The Sunday Times and for the daily online platform, Times Live. Following that, I became a freelance correspondent for international wire agency, Agence France Presse. 

​

I transitioned to video journalism and eventually moved away from the news world completely which allowed me more freedom to explore video and photography as a medium.

​​

I enjoy working with clients to conceptualise what type of content they need to achieve their goals.

​

While I have worked on a range of projects with different outcomes, my passion lies in creating content for positive impact causes.
