Monique Brider

Monica joined Du Toit Yacht Design with a strong foundation in Industrial Design and a passion for transforming creative concepts into practical, visually refined yacht design solutions. She studied at the Open Window Institute, where she developed a broad creative skill set spanning industrial design, graphic design, photography and illustration – all of which enrich her approach to design challenges. At DTYD, Monica works closely with the interior designers, engineers and the boatyard team on detailed design work, contributing to the overall creative direction of each project. Her focus lies in blending innovative thinking with functional design, ensuring that every element she works on is both purposeful and beautifully resolved. Inspired by art, architecture and the natural environment, Monica brings a broad creative perspective to the studio. Her commitment to thoughtful, practical design and her collaborative approach make her a valuable part of the Du Toit Yacht Design team

Dwight brings a blend of hands-on mechanical engineering expertise and a refined design sensibility to the Du Toit Yacht Design team. He holds a Mechanical Engineering certification from the Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) and has completed an accelerated management programme through the Business School of Cape Town. His career spans industries such as severe-duty cargo and passenger vehicles, as well as zero-emission transport systems. Dwight is passionate about transforming complex engineering challenges into streamlined, functional, and visually refined solutions. His strengths lie in component and system design, prototyping, and developing real-world mechanical solutions that are practical, efficient, and elegant. A firm believer that engineering should look as good as it performs, Dwight combines an eye for flow and proportion with a focus on intuitive, clean design. Outside the studio, he’s an endurance athlete, multi-day hiker, and explorer at heart — always pushing boundaries, both in his work and life.

Ingo has had a lifelong fascination with design. After completing his Industrial Design Degree at the University of Johannesburg he started his career as a designer at Du Toit Yacht Design. From there he ventured into the outdoor leisure industry with an extensive list of caravan designs under his belt as well as building a few himself. Ingo has now gone full circle and is back at Du Toit Yacht Design to continue his passion for designing  yachts.
