I’m a Sound Designer, Video Editor and a Documentary Producer with a passion for beautiful imagery and visual storytelling. I have carved a successful career in Kenya and currently work across projects in East Africa.

My education background is in TV Production coupled with over eight years of experience in the film and television industry has provided me with a focused set of technical and creative skills. I have done extensive work in long-form broadcast television as well as short-form online and high-end corporate content. This includes working on a wide range of genres including documentary, factual entertainment, reality TV, news, current affairs, comedy, lifestyle, children's television, and films. My clients include Mnet, NTV, Amazon Prime, KTN, KBC,  among other leading East African networks.

I am a creative and resourceful editor with a confident sense of narrative, emotion, and rhythm. I pride myself in strong editorial skills and can help you mould your story. In fact, it is the storytelling side of things that I enjoy the most about my job.

 

Every project I work on teaches me something new. This satisfies my curious mind and it’s this reason that I love telling stories. I am always on the lookout for opportunities to work with other professionals and this has led me to a long exciting career spanning a range of subjects and formats.
