Over the course of my career, I noticed that it often took a long time to complete a website. The reason is that the designers were waiting on the client for content, while the clients had no idea what to send. So I created the 1 Day Mobile Website Workshop. During the workshop, I sit with stakeholders, discuss the business, work on the value proposition, and design and develop the website, including writing all content. The workshops are intense, but the result was a completed site, cutting months of back-and-forth emails. The workshop is usually well received, and I've also started doing them using video conference calls.

In 2018, I entered the Global Legal Hackathon. The challenge was around access to justice. My idea was to create a series of videos on resolving your own justice concerns. This got the attention of HiiL, an international organization that encouraged me to apply to their accelerator. Joined by a friend, I shot and edited 30 videos with the top five law firms in South Africa and was awarded first prize at the Southern Africa pitching contest. I was flown to The Hague, where I got to pitch the idea to chief justices and attorney generals. The videos are still live on Facebook and have been viewed over 10,000 times.
