2. I have been working as a designer for the past 5
years, and that has taught me that no matter what
you work on, each project is different and unique in
its own way. The clients, the audience and the design
combine to create a relationship between the user
and the brand. As a designer, I enjoy influencing that
relationship with my strong design skills, aesthetic
clarity and understanding of marketing principles.
From directing photo shoots to designing
adverts, and shortfilm shoots for visual effects,
my role within creativity encompass many areas,
cinematography being one of them. I have directed
for several companies, Luxury Leather Africa and
AGRA being one of them, as well as freelanced for
smaller companies. Each experience has helped me
grow as a designer and as a person.
In addition to graphic design, I’ve always held
the unofficial title of “Tech Geek”. I am the one in my
office who gets the printers to work properly and
knows how to get rid of the pesky donut in InDesign.
I enjoy learning new programs and methods, so
when I am not working you will normally find me
scouring the Internet for new design tools and
tutorials. I enjoy learning from my peers and I keep
up to date with the latest methods.

CV/INFO
Label design and name plays a major role in branding. Especially when new product is being introduced to the market, the label design
can in fact, make or break the success of the brand. No matter how excellent the quality of the product itself, the packaging design is the
first thing that customers see and become the basis of most customers when deciding to buy the product or not.
The work of a graphic designer is very crucial to the success of a brand. To make a brand stand out, Adplace Kenya I come up with unique
and creative packaging designs to meet market needs.
