Senior Graphics Designer

Fresh out of the SADF in 1993 Riaan started looking for work, having a keen interest in graphics and design, he worked for a Interior Designer for a year, doing interior house layouts and selling R20,000 chairs which he didn’t find very interesting or challenging. He moved to an Electronic Sign Writing company called American Signs, working with a then "state of the art" 486 PC, doing everything from designing the TAZZ stickers for Toyota's to 15 Meter road-side signs.

He worked there for five years learning everything he could about signs and logos. After the company hit a financial snag he needed to find work and had to cancel his Internet Subscription with a small company called LIA Internet. After speaking to Rob Fisher and explaining his situation, he was offered a position doing support calls and designing web pages. Many Christmas parties later, the name has changed, but the help and support he got from them have stayed the same.

Riaan is AAT's lead graphic designer.

Riaan has been with AAT since August 2001.
