KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a versatile graphic designer with extensive experience across design, IT tutoring, and education, blending creativity with practical technical skills. I deliver visual solutions while mentoring others to develop their competencies and confidence.
My professional path includes roles as a graphic designer, computer tutor, IT staff assistant, and teacher, where I combined hands-on technical work with classroom and coaching responsibilities. I have a proven record of guiding individuals and teams and creating engaging learning experiences.
Key achievements include sustained design work at a private enterprise since 2018, delivering IT support and design services in clinical and data-mapping environments, and teaching Kiswahili while coaching rugby at the secondary-school level. I emphasize effective communication, teamwork and applied training.
I seek roles that let me continue producing high-quality design work while mentoring others and contributing to education or technology-driven teams, bringing a practical, collaborative, and student-centered approach.
