She has written a wide variety of content for various platforms and industries (including websites, social media, blogs, newsletters, and advertising campaigns), and enjoys empowering clients through ongoing collaboration and service solutions.
At home, she is surrounded by five males (one dad, three copy and paste versions of him, and Japie, the farm cat ), she enjoys spending her free time with friends, reading books and girly novels, and learning about the health benefits of pure grade essential oils (you know: to balance out all the testosterone).
Anneke studied Visual Communication Design at Stellenbosch University. After a short reprieve teaching English in Korea, she worked mostly in publishing for Media24 and Struik Christian Media. Design to her is a puzzle and she loves seeing the pieces come together! Since the birth of her eldest, she has been a stay-at-home-by-day-freelance-at-night mom (of two in counting).
She buys books for their covers, has tasted all the chocolate brands in Turkey, is a master Puerto Rico player, and has all her movie tickets from 1998 (before they started printing them in ink that fades).
Grethe studied BComm Law and completed her Honours in Strategic Management and Innovation at Stellenbosch University.

She is a wife and mom with a firm belief in the positive power of a steaming Dirty Chai, podcasts, and avo toast.
