Bemshima Loho
@bemshima
I’m Bemshima, a multidisciplinary freelancer with over 10 years of experience across design, marketing, media and tech.
What I'm looking for
I’m a highly motivated, results-oriented creative professional who thrives in independent and collaborative environments. As Head, Creative Direction since March 2018, I curate and create direction for brand and content projects, and I deliver consultancy in design, e-mail marketing, and media production.
I’ve built and scaled audience-facing media initiatives, including spearheading and growing a radio project targeting Africans in the diaspora and cross-cultural listeners. Earlier, at Radio IITA, I co-anchored and produced multiple shows, driving 6,000+ engineered news/program segments and 1,000+ episodes delivered, with segments reaching 28+ African countries and strong listenership.
I also bring product and systems thinking: I designed 10+ functional application prototypes, translated business logic into developer-ready frameworks, and performed QA/testing with clear bug documentation and expected behavior. In marketing leadership roles, I’ve driven measurable revenue turnaround results (including 14%+ monthly growth) and built brand credibility through strategic influencer partnerships.
