Founding partner · Executive Creative Director · Writer
What she brought
Verbal precision. Cultural intelligence.
Bonolo turned complex briefs into clear, culturally precise ideas. Her writing and creative direction shaped work for Heineken®, LEGiT, Absa, Tiger Brands and DStv.
Creative Fixer was built as a partnership. She brought the verbal precision and cultural intelligence; Novic built the visual language and directed it through production. Together they made campaigns, identities, films and experiences as one creative practice.
That partnership remains the centre of the studio. Her judgement is inseparable from how it thinks and makes today.
