I’m Tehillah, a product designer with a background in Information Systems and Digital Media, and a curiosity that tends to spill into everything I do.

I studied a BA specialising in Information Systems and Digital Media at the University of Cape Town from 2023–2025, where I worked across product design, research, digital media, and film. Along the way, I received multiple scholarships and worked on projects that ranged from digital products to documentary filmmaking. One of my documentaries has since been selected for film festivals including the Joburg Film Festival and the Russian Film Festival.

Since graduating, I’ve been freelancing, building my own business, and making things of my own. I also work as a mixologist, which has taught me far more about people and product design than I ever expected. Hospitality is basically one very long exercise in observing people, anticipating needs, solving problems quickly, and occasionally discovering that nobody actually read the menu.

I like telling stories about people, understanding what makes them tick, and turning those insights into thoughtful experiences. I’m interested in the space where research, storytelling, and design meet.
