About me
The name is Willan
I'm a award winning South African digital nomad - that travels the world. I'm a software developer, designer, and entrepreneur, with a keen eye for strategy and design. I'm passionate about technology, design, and business.
In-line with my nomad adventures I own a very successfull medium sized digital agency, located in the prestigous Irene, Pretoria, South Africa. I'm also the founder of a few startups, and I'm always looking for new opportunities to grow and learn.
I recently became a father, and my current short term goal is to increase my business footprint in the EU - where I can start focusing on my health and work-life balance as well as the future of my beautiful daughter.
