About Oceans

In 2008 I joined Oceans Research. I was primary hired as a multimedia manager. Over time I helped to craft the company's various programs and products.

Responsibilities: Creative direction, Education design, Creative Direction, HTML5 and CSS3, User Experience, User Interface, Logo design, Product Management, Product Design

Humble beginnings

I initially joined the Oceans team as a marine research intern, while they were operating under the name SAMPLA (South African Marine Predator Lab). While the primary revenue stream for the organisation was its marine internship program, within their opening twelve motions of operation they had identified a number of areas for future growth, namely: education, media production and eco-tourism. My knowledge of design and interest in marine research meant I was a good fit to join the team and help determine a strategy to exploit these opportunities.

I moved to South Africa in 2009 to dedicate my efforts toward this full time, shortly before we changed the company name to Oceans. We felt that this name was appropriately specific but broad enough that we could incorporate the relevant markets with ease.
