About me

I’m a creative director and a visual strategist who builds powerful human stories through film, documentary, and campaign content. I’ve worked with Zuri Health, the M-Pesa Foundation, and supported major productions like MTV Shuga Mashariki and Njeri Series.

Having led in production teams and campaign execution, I understand what it takes to move a project from idea to impact. My work balances strong creative direction with practical execution, ensuring every piece is purposeful, audience-focused, and delivered to a high standard.

I care about clarity, emotional truth, and storytelling that actually connects with real people. I believe visuals should do more than look good — they should drive action, change perception, and move people.
