    Thys de Beer

    Co-founder of Haloda!

     

    Hi, I’m Thys de Beer, and I dream of a world where people can find their true identities and live their lives authentically. I’m a lecturer and consultant with 18 years of experience working as a brand and communication strategist on several blue-chip clients.

     

    I joined the IIE Vega School in 2008 where I discovered a love for brand and communication strategy, innovation and design thinking.

     

    I hold a Master’s degree that focuses on the relationship between Brand Strategy and Design Thinking, I lectured and designed user-centred design and business management curricula at Red and Yellow Creative School of Business in Cape Town, and I continue to consult on South African and international brands.

     

    As a co-founder of Haloda! I strive to add value to society by collaborating with brave people who want to make their voices heard.

    Vaughn Gunnell

    Co-founder of Haloda!

     

    Hi, I’m Vaughn Gunnell, and I specialise in improving the User Experience (abbreviated to "UX") of digital products and services like apps, websites, software, business processes, etc.

     

    I believe in playing my part to make our world a better place for future generations.

     

    To do this, I focus on 3 things:

    1. Developing myself into a stronger person, partner, and leader everyday;

    2. Helping entrepreneurs and organisations maximise the value they add to our world; and

    3. Solving complex problems using design thinking, data, and technology.

     

    Nobody can do it alone, so I also build teams to do this at scale.

     

    As a co-founder of Haloda! I strive to empower others with the mindset and methods that have helped me find purpose in my own life.
