What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a senior digital leadership role where I can fuse storytelling, performance marketing and analytics to drive revenue, mentor teams, and lead digital transformation in hospitality, real estate or creative media.

I am a self-taught, award-winning creative with over a decade of experience across entertainment, media, real estate, and hospitality.

I specialize in film production, digital marketing, SEO, and creative design, and I’ve driven measurable commercial results — including approximately KES 1.1B in real estate sales and EUR 335,000+ in direct online revenue at a luxury property.

My production work has grown audiences organically (19k+ YouTube subscribers) and earned recognition from Riverwood, Kalasha and inclusion in Netflix's African movie selection; I lead end-to-end multimedia production and post-production teams to deliver award-winning content on tight deadlines.

I’m passionate about emerging technologies, lifelong learning and capacity building; I merge creative insight with performance marketing to lead digital transformation, mentor teams and scale revenue for mission-driven brands.
