What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow creatively while collaborating with a dynamic team.

I am a graduate diploma holder in Film Video Programmes Production from the Kenya Institute of Mass Communication. My core areas of expertise include videography, cinematography, lighting, photography, editing, graphic design, and social media marketing. I am proficient in various editing software, including Adobe Editing Suite (Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, and Photoshop/Lightroom), as well as television production software like V-Mix Pro and Insta Play Out.

Currently, I am a self-employed creative professional, continuously growing my skills in videography, photography, and post-production editing. I have embraced a digital nomad lifestyle, taking on various roles across different fields, which has expanded my skill set and strengthened my adaptability in managing remote work environments effectively. My recent contract as an editor and producer at Restoration Evolve Television involved turning raw footage into compelling visual stories and monitoring programs on air.

Previously, I worked with Magic Reel Production as a videographer and editor, and I was part of the camera team at Cape Media Company, where I covered the August 2022 elections. My journey began with an internship at Nation Media Group, where I gained exposure to key areas such as camera operations, studio lighting, transmission, vision mixing, and sound management.
