About

I'm East-African born, and raised in Kent (UK) since the age of 8. I recognised from as early as the age of 4 or 5 that being creative was my strength. I have a wide range of skills gained over 15 years of working in the creative industry. I graduated with a Design degree from Kingston University in 2006; followed by a career in Graphic Design & Marketing. I introduced illustration to my skillset in 2016 with the launch of Swanky Giftbook, where I was recognised as one of 20 top women disrupting their industry in 2021, by creating a unique personalised range of giftbooks for children and adults. This turned me into an all-rounder, armed with a full set of marketing skills to make a business stand out.
​
I'm an energetic, super-creative, and forward-thinking Graphic Designer with B2B and B2C design experience. My skills and knowledge allow me to create visual content for business and corporate portfolios within a broad range of industries. I've covered projects in the hospitality, architectural, publishing, events, and finance industries, and have been able to give back by using my skills to support start-up businesses and special fundraising causes. ​
Random fact : "I am creative musically too. I am a self-taught pianist and church organist. My parents couldn't afford piano lessons, but being a bit of a determined character, I taught myself from 8 years old by using our community hall piano. I have entertained corporate clients at big events and can often be found playing well-known classics or entertaining guests at fundraisers in my spare time."
