"Jack of all trades master of some".
Creative, innovative, flexible multi-faceted graphic designer and the Managing Director at PriDegree Design Studio specialising in multimedia: 2D and 3D animations, web designs, illustrations and graphic design.
I started drawing as young as I can remember. I went to Erundu Combined School, in Oshakati and moved to Swakopmund in 2006. Start with both Art and music classes. I completed my grade 12 at Swakopmund Secondary School (SSS) in 2009. I went to study Graphic Design at Midrand Graduate Institute in Cape Town in 2012. Currently, I am the managing director of PriDegree Designs. PriDegree Designs is dynamic graphic design studio operating in four major sectoriums: animation, web design, corporate identity and illustration to meets all your designs needs. Thanks for taking the time to look at my portfolio! I function in a variety of fields, and for the Graphic Design field, I operate by the name PriDegree Santos (pridegree is my graphic design alias which stuck). Pri in PriDegree stands for Prime - the first. It is linked to a series started it in 2014 - PriDegree Series: The African Alphabets, which I am still working at: pridegree.wordpress.com. I merely do not post so often, because I am working on other projects, which are providing immediate results. Furthermore, it forms a secret message, as it spells out "pride" gree.
During my pre-degree year, I got an internship at Inkfish Design Studio. I was only suppose to be there for one month and two weeks, but the director like me so much that it turned into a 3 months internship. I wasn’t even able to go home for the holidays, lucky me! Having grown up with both of my parents unemployed, and my mother struggling in her small businesses, I aspire to help young entrepreneurs and businesses struggling in the visual department. I believe that if we have more business owners more jobs will be available. I love fashion, and currently working with Nardo on the Nardo fashion brand and Nardo Originals. I enjoy working on projects that involves pure originality. My multimedia program is so diverse that I was exposed to so many streams of designs. I am very flexible, having had done a lot freelance work, I really don’t mind if the client wants to get involved in the projects, I mean they are paying for it so. I started conceptualising, PriDegree Designs during my pre-degree year and it grew with me to third year, and now I practically have a job.
Philosophy: "The sophistication is in the simplicity" Form must follow function heavily drawing from the Bauhaus School of Design and
Nothing should be lift chance.
I emphasis on clarity and legibility:
Demonstrated by the space between the characters
The words should breath
the pictures should move
And the eye should relax
And enjoy
Celebrates the pick of BKDS Nascent
It emphasis on C- cube which stands for
Clean, Clear and Concise
Legibility is highly emphasized
A design need not be ambigious
I am a freeborn
Born after independence
Freedom reigns in my blood and the blood of Jesus affirms and testifies to this.
I believe in Christ the son, and that he did for my sins and freedom and he rose again I am a the chosen generation, a royal priesthood, the royal steward, a holy nation, a peculiar People And the Trinity.

Personal branding, For many years, I have been using trademarks as a way to organize the different functions which I do, namely: comics, fashion, arts, animation, teaching and business, to name a few. I have been doing this since 2003, however, a few years back in a design forum a designer asked me why I was I “so faceless”. At the time, I did not give much value to it, as was still building my brand, and for me it was important that potential clients identify the PriDegree logo. Now, that I have built my brand, I believe it is time to reveal the person behind the designers.
