I'm a multidisciplinary creative with a strong foundation in social media strategy, graphic design, video editing, and copywriting. My work bridges storytelling and systems-whether I'm designing a campaign, curating content, or coordinating creative programs that empower communities. Currently, I serve as Creative Operations Lead at Ink Coaching, where I manage visual content, social media platforms, and outreach for the Sanara Project-a Mastercard-backed initiative focused on skilling, storytelling, and placement for emerging artists across Kenya. I create branded assets, edit short-form videos, write newsletters, and document impact across our masterclasses and camps. My background also includes roles in restaurant marketing, brand management, and digital communications, giving me a unique edge in blending creativity with operational excellence. I thrive in dynamic environments where design meets purpose, and I'm passionate about building platforms that amplify local voices. Let's connect if you're looking for someone who can turn ideas into visuals, strategy into engagement, and stories into impact.
