Creative graphic designer and photographer specializing in high-impact social and brand visuals.
What I'm looking for
I am a versatile, concept-driven graphic designer and photographer with over 5 years of hands-on experience creating high-impact visuals for print, digital, branding, and social media. I excel at translating ideas into visually compelling designs that align with business goals across startups, fintech, microfinance, and transportation sectors.
My toolkit includes Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, CapCut, and motion tools, and I routinely produce short-form video content and reels optimized for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. I manage multiple projects under tight deadlines while ensuring brand consistency and print/digital specifications are met.
In my current role at Mwananchi Credit Ltd, I delivered over 1,500 branded visuals in six months, produced 60+ reels that increased Instagram engagement by 60%, and standardized nationwide branding guidelines. Previously, as Marketing & Design Lead at Afrikonekta Mobility, I led a full brand refresh and created a cohesive design library that sped up campaign delivery by 40%.
As a freelancer I completed 300+ design projects for 40+ clients, maintained a 98% satisfaction rate, and helped startups launch complete brand identity kits. I bring creative direction, visual storytelling, and measurable results to brands seeking stronger visual presence and engagement.
