Neo Rakgajane is one of the coolest designers i know - and his work reflects the kind of charecter he is ...
"Born in Mafikeng in 1975, Neo is currently self- employed as a graphic designer and fine artist. His interest lies mainly in social, political, abstractive work. He relishes the opportunity to use his design skills in a stand against ignorance, poverty, disease and boredom.
Neo believes that if designers are to prosper, their future depends on them selling their own products as opposed to servicing other brands. Within this maxim, Neo works on his own products, which he markets online. Neo is currently working on a novel made up of his father’s diary of dreams and imaginings as well as writing a volume of poetry. He plans to build a studio shop where skills-transfer and economic liberation are achieved through design. When he is not changing the
world one design at a time, Neo reads a lot, cooks, paints, writes literature and composes music." - via Capeafrica
