What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead creative transformation, mentor teams, and deliver integrated brand campaigns with measurable business impact.

I am a Creative Director with extensive experience leading visual storytelling, art direction, and multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-impact, integrated brand campaigns across digital, social and outdoor channels.

I have led creative transformation for Kenya’s leading digital-first agency, directed national campaigns that gained viral traction and industry recognition, and pioneered SaaS product design for marketing technology platforms, increasing campaign efficiency by 40% through strategic team structuring.

I mentor design teams, translate insights into compelling creative concepts, and partner with clients on brand transformation, full-time leadership roles, freelance creative direction, and consulting workshops to elevate creative output and business impact.
