What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic creative environment that values storytelling and cultural narratives, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a co-founder and creative producer at Jenga Visuals LTD, dedicated to showcasing Africa's vibrant narratives and cultural richness. With extensive experience in production management and line producing, I have successfully led multiple projects to critical acclaim, managing complex production processes and overseeing budgets to ensure timely delivery.

My role in developing and executing innovative creative strategies for the feature film Visasi resulted in a 30% increase in project funding and garnered critical acclaim, including a Best Lead Actor award at the Mombasa International Film Festival. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging partnerships to enhance production scope and reach, while maintaining a strong focus on quality and artistic vision.
