What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead event production and digital strategy, build partnerships, grow communities, and scale creative programs in fast-paced teams.

I am a creative entrepreneur, event organiser, and digital strategist with hands-on experience directing event production, marketing campaigns, and artist collaborations that strengthen brand presence in Kenya's entertainment industry.

I have launched themed events and festivals, negotiated partnerships with sponsors and ticketing platforms, and managed complex schedules across suppliers, vendors, artists, and marketing teams to deliver on tight deadlines.

My background includes freelance copywriting and digital marketing where I produced landing pages, social calendars, campaigns, emails, and insights reports, and I led communication strategy and positioning for youth-focused programmes.

I am outcome-driven, enjoy experimenting with new ideas, and bring strong skills in partnerships, process ownership, and team leadership backed by formal training in procurement, contract management, and digital marketing.
