Yolandi Burger

Research Fellow (Built environment and design)

I am an analytical thinker who has been operating in creative spaces for over a decade. My passion is deeply rooted at the intersection of Graphic Heritage, where the realms of graphic design, urban design, toponymy, tourism, culture, and heritage seamlessly converge. This intrinsic approach of mine finds resonance through collaborations with esteemed partners such as the Nelson Mandela Foundation in South Africa. I am thoroughly engrossed in an exploratory initiative alongside creative industry peers and an international research team delving into the intricate fabric of public spaces that bear the name of the late Madiba, forging a bridge between creative artistry and cultural legacy. I also specialise in developing design curricula encompassing various domains, including graphic design, design thinking, co-design, experience design, and design methodology.
