MISSION

As a Tanzanian Maasai/British creative and interdisciplinary researcher, my mission is to design innovative interventions for complex global challenges.

As a graphic designer, brand strategist, and photographer, I help businesses, creatives and NGOs tell powerful stories through impactful visuals.


SPECIALITIES

  • With five years of experience in graphic design, I have developed a diverse skill set across various design areas, including branding, posters, social media content, and product design. I specialize in creating cohesive visual identities that align with a brand's mission and values, from logos to promotional materials.

    My expertise extends to developing engaging social media content and designing impactful products, ensuring a seamless and creative representation across all platforms. Proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, I bring both technical precision and creativity to every project, consistently delivering high-quality, effective design solutions.

  • With over seven years of photography experience, I’ve honed my skills across a wide range of styles, including food and drink photography, event, travel and drone photography, and wildlife.

    My work focuses on telling compelling visual stories, whether it’s highlighting the textures and vibrancy of cuisine, capturing the energy of live events, or showcasing the beauty of landscapes and wildlife.

  • In my work as a brand strategist, I blend creative vision with problem-solving expertise to help clients move from challenges to impactful solutions.

    On the strategic side, I leverage interdisciplinary insights to develop solutions that address core challenges, offering clients not just creative designs but also actionable strategies.

    My approach combines effective storytelling with powerful visuals to create brands that are both aesthetically compelling and strategically sound.

  • In my interdisciplinary research, I combine qualitative and quantitative methods to explore complex topics such as urban design, indigenous knowledge, sustainability, ecology, policy, international governance, Afrofuturism, and mycology.

    Grounded in academic literature, my research incorporates insights from various disciplines and stakeholders, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of these critical issues.

    I excel in synthesising diverse perspectives into meaningful and effective projects and products, ensuring that my work not only addresses theoretical questions but also offers practical solutions to real-world challenges.

  • I have over 3 years of experience in web design, where I create visually engaging and user-friendly websites that align with a brand's identity and goals.

    From layout design to optimising user experiences, I ensure that each website effectively communicates the brand's message while providing seamless navigation for users.

    My approach integrates both aesthetic design and functionality, ensuring the digital presence is as impactful as the brand itself.

I help brands translate values and vision
