What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create high-impact brand campaigns, visual identities, motion graphics, and digital media work while collaborating across creative, content, and production teams.

At Nextmedia, I build and manage visual identities for Salam TV, NBS TV, Sanyuka TV, and United Media, keeping brand expression consistent across digital, broadcast, and print touchpoints.

I’ve concepted and directed campaigns including Beers Steady, Uganda Economic Forum, Housing Baraza, and State of the Digital Economy, contributing to a 30% increase in brand visibility and audience engagement. My motion graphics work also increased audience retention by 25%.

I collaborate closely with marketing, content, and production teams to deliver cohesive brand messaging. I also mentor junior designers and interns while fostering creativity and excellence within the design department.

I began freelancing during my school years, editing video for organizations including Reproductive Health Uganda. My work has been recognized at Nextmedia with Transformer of the Quarter and a Certificate of Application Excellence.
