From a young age, Gabrielle has been expressing her creativity across multiple mediums, including interior design, fashion and painting. Her passion for creating compelling visuals was fostered at Central Saint Martin College of Art and Design in London where she studied design. After graduating with Honours in 2005, she returned to South Africa, working as a stylist for international commercials and subsequently joining Y&R Cape Town as a Junior Art Director, where her career really began.
In 2011, Gabrielle decided to open her own agency, Domino Digital. Her role as Managing Director entailed growing the business and its people. She did this with considerable success and spearheaded the acquisition of the agency by advertising giant, M&C Saatchi, leading the rebrand of Domino Digital into Dalmatian Advertising.
In 2018, Gabrielle felt the urge to escape the boardroom and return to her first love, the studio. She looks forward to a continued, rewarding exploration into the visual art world.
