Born and raised in Mahikeng, Nthabi is a powerhouse in the digital and creative space. Her professional journey spans over a decade, with expertise in web content and digital development, digital and multimedia design, social media strategy, and brand development. She founded iLdesigns Creative Approach, a boutique agency offering complete branding solutions, from websites and logo creation to social media marketing, digital campaigns, and video editing.

Her passion for business storytelling also led to the launch of Entrepreneur Puzzle, an online magazine that celebrates and profiles business leaders, creators, and industry changemakers across various sectors.

Nthabi’s creative roots began in the small village of Tsetse, where her childhood was shaped by community engagement, cultural performance, and leadership. From being a proud Girl Guide and Drum Majorette to performing with her local dance crew, The Naughty Pups, she learned the values of expression, discipline, and unity early on.

After matriculating from Leteane High School in 2005, she explored her academic path in computer science before transitioning to a diploma in web application development at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT), which she completed in 2013. Since then, she has worked across multiple industries, including education, advertising, media, and tourism, building impactful digital platforms and visual content that speak to identity, clarity, and connection.

But her journey is more than titles and qualifications. Nthabi’s skills are a gift, a blessing that allows her to do what she loves. Still, she believes that no degree or certificate can define who she is. She is rooted in prayer, centered in her purpose, and graced for her assignment. She is committed to lifelong learning, constantly evolving in her work and personal growth.

Through the Real Talk with Nthabi Foundation, she has brought transformation to communities through initiatives like the #FindTheBox campaign, Chance for Change Youth Seminars, and the RTWN Sanitary Towels and Deodorants Campaign, uplifting young girls and boys in under-resourced communities across South Africa. Her foundation was recognised by Women24 and has since collaborated with organisations such as Trek4Mandela and Total South Africa.

Nthabi is also the host of the podcast Unfiltered Grace, where she shares raw, honest, and soul-lifting conversations about healing, empowerment, faith, entrepreneurship, and womanhood.

She has been featured on various platforms sharing her wisdom, continuing to use her voice and vision to impact lives meaningfully.

What is her personal mantra?
“Even if I only reach one person, that is enough. Together, we can achieve more.”
