Hi there, I’m Naledi Shange.

An artist, illustrator & brand designer.


I'm Naledi Shange, a multidisciplinary artist, illustrator, and brand designer based in Pretoria. My work blends digital art, painting, and drawing to tell vibrant stories about my identity, culture, and personal experiences.

More than an artist - a storyteller.

I love to tell stories through my art. Using an Apple Pencil, I capture moments of inspiration wherever they strike. My creative process is a dialogue between the digital and the physical—I often layer acrylic and craft paints over my digital pieces to create unique textures. This technique symbolizes my own journey of navigating dual identities in both the digital and physical worlds.



Beyond the canvas

My creative journey extends beyond fine art into the world of design. I enjoy translating my art into tangible products, like the custom sneakers I designed for the 2024 Paris Olympics in collaboration with Nike and Brand South Africa. It's exciting to see my creativity take on new forms, proving that art isn't confined to a canvas—it can be for anyone, anywhere.

Internationally recognized artist

My creativity has been recognized internationally across multiple disciplines and outlets. My journey has taken me from having my artwork displayed in galleries across South Africa to traveling to the 2024 Paris Olympics, where I represented South Africa as a sneaker designer. My artwork has also been featured in an exhibition in Turkey, further solidifying my presence on the global stage.
