Hello. I am Rain Joubert, the newly appointed Graphics Animator in the POYNTING marketing team. I have a BA Honours in Film Arts.

In simpler terms, I specialise in Filmmaking, Animation and Design. I hope to use my skills in the industry to showcase everything that POYNTING has to offer. I finished my studies at The Open Window Institute in 2015 and have been gaining experience in the industry through freelance and contract work in a variety of settings. I have worked with various media-houses in regards to content creation, ranging from animation, film, graphic design and creative/design/film consulting. I hope to use my experience in Multimedia Production to help grow POYNTING during this time of expansion.

I grew up in Durban, moved to Gauteng to study, and now live with my partner of 5 years and our three kitties in Centurion. Being creative at heart, I enjoy many artsy hobbies, ranging from drawing, cosplay, sculpting, videogames, anime, film/ television and reading. I am Vegan (for the animals), and I am a firm believer in animal rights, equality and living an ethical lifestyle.

I am very excited and looking forward to working at POYNTING, among so many friendly and helpful people. I am sure we are going to do some amazing work together.
