ABOUT

I'm a Creative Director and the founder of Kolimo Multimedia. I believe creativity is more than a craft it's a way of seeing. Through film, photography, branding, and digital experiences, I help people and organizations tell stories that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impact.

Fourteen years in, that work spans commercial, documentary, television and branded productions: creative strategy, production, post-production, digital marketing and brand communications for international organizations, NGOs and private-sector clients.
