What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can translate global brand goals into local stories—strengthen customer trust, build meaningful community connections, and deliver measurable growth through brand consistency, creative execution, and data-driven decisions.

I’m a Brand & Marketing Specialist with 5+ years of experience turning market insights into locally resonant stories—then executing them across digital channels, content, and brand visuals. I work comfortably at the intersection of brand, digital strategy, and creative execution, using KPIs and ROI tracking to guide every decision.

In my most recent role as Brand Creative Designer at TECNO Kenya, I lead design and development for new mobile devices, from concept and user testing to technical design specifications and launch-ready product visualisations. Earlier, I strengthened online growth through integrated campaigns at Acorn Holdings Ltd, delivering a 30% boost in customer engagement and a 20% lift in conversion rates, and I improved engagement by 41% while reducing attrition by 23% at Transcooper Ltd through audience-focused content and app content architecture improvements.
