What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters creativity and growth.

As a dedicated graphic designer with a strong foundation in mass media and communication, I have honed my skills through various internships and freelance projects. My journey began with a Graphic Design Internship at Kenya Broadcasting Corporation, where I collaborated with seasoned designers to create engaging graphics for social media and television. This experience ignited my passion for visual storytelling and set the stage for my future endeavors.

Over the years, I have expanded my expertise by working with organizations like Noble Missions Africa and The 47 Investments, where I designed annual reports and promotional materials. My role as a Database Curator at Viberate allowed me to sharpen my analytical skills while managing and editing data to enhance the accuracy of analytics. Currently, I am a Freelance Graphic Designer, where I continue to create impactful designs tailored to client needs, demonstrating my commitment to delivering high-quality work.
