Some background information about DW


Myself with my lovely wife and beautiful baby girl

De Waal Immelman

Graphic Designer for over 20 years

I have always been interested in both computers as well as beautiful visuals. As a result, in 1999, I enrolled in a BA Multimedia course at the University of Pretoria, South Africa. After learning about the more technical aspects of information science and information design, I decided that (a) Java coding wasn't for me, and (b) I would rather pursue visual creativity. This decision lead me to the Open Window School of Visual Communication, where I completed a 4-year degree in Visual Communication and also began designing material for local bands and so on.

Since then I have completed a wide range of freelance projects and I have done many interesting and fulfilling creative projects for various clients and along with different collaborators. I have worked with startup business owners and creative agencies. I am a people's person and I love helping clients communicate with their target audience.

In 2010 my wife and I moved to Taipei, Taiwan where I've been teaching English and Art, designing web and printed material, and making pots in a ceramic studio on Yangming mountain.

I am always keen to hear from prospective clients and to help with information, quotes or advice. Please feel free to contact me if you are in need of any of these.

Here's what you can expect from me:

  • Pixel-perfect design
  • Professional communication
  • Reasonable rates
  • Realistic timeframes and timely delivery
  • A genuine interest in helping you improve your project or business
