Head On Design started initially as a cheeky stab at trophy hunters, showing them how to celebrate our wildlife, differently. 
Over the years we have raised funds to save our rhinos, elephants and lions from poaching, while also creating awareness.

Gerry the Giraffe was initially designed for display at a decor and design show in Johannesburg. 
After being a huge personality in our Cape Town studio for a many years, I felt it was time he found a use greater than simply looking pretty, so we (flat) packed him in my car and headed for Christel House, in Ottery, Cape Town.
It was such a treat to visit the kids at Christel House just outside of Cape Town.

This school is AMAZING!
Relying largely on donations, it transforms the lives of impoverished children, breaking the cycle of poverty and building self-sufficient, contributing members of society.

I was so impressed by their positive energy and eagerness to learn.

The kiddies had a great time putting all the pieces together. Here's the Giraffe's neck and head, done!
