RwandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a creative photo-videographer and graphic designer with a strong passion for creating e-portfolios that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. My journey in visual storytelling began at Agahozo Shalom Youth Village, where I honed my skills in graphic design, video editing, and media leadership. I have successfully led media sessions, planned studio schedules, and taught sound recording and mixing to others, showcasing my commitment to teamwork and knowledge sharing.
Currently, I work with Bridges to Prosperity, where I capture and edit documentaries for bridge inaugurations, further enhancing my skills in visual content creation. My freelance work has allowed me to take photos and videos for various events, and I have also participated in film competitions, demonstrating my ability to produce compelling visual narratives. I am always eager to learn and grow, having recently completed training in sound recording and documentary production.
