I graduated with a Diploma in Art and Design from Buruburu Institute of Fine Arts in 2002. Since then, I have worked for several companies both small design houses as well as big Adverting agencies. I have done work for several brands namely; Mpishi Poa Cooking fat, Marshals, Cooperative Bank, Colgate PalmOlive, Weetabix, Equity bank, KPA, to name a few. My work was to come up with concept for advertisement campaigns, design collateral materials like brochures, booklets, among other requirements by the client.
I started my career as a copywriter but later on changed to Graphics Design. I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign for publication layouts. On my free time I practice website design using Joomla, Wordpress, HTML5 and CSS3.
Currently I am a freelancing Copywriter and Graphics Designer my last job being Scanad Advertising Kenya. As an agency, I worked to solve communication problems for our clients as outlined in a brief. Once briefed, I came up with several concepts which I presented to the Creative Director for advice, then consequently, present to the client. Once approved, last stage would be preparing the work for print. This involved making sure the colors are perfect, images are high resolution, proofing has been done and finally the work is ready to go. Jobs worked on included, advertising campaigns, annual reports, brochures, flyers, strategic reports to name a few. See my website for some of my work, www.smoke.co.ke
