About Me

I am a multidisciplinary design lead and Digital Creative Director originally from Harare, Zimbabwe, with 18 years of experience in advertising. I have worked across multiple brands and clients spanning various disciplines within some of the industry’s top agencies, shaping work that balances craft, strategy, and business impact.

I combine digital creative leadership with advanced AI expertise, focusing on AI-enhanced creativity that integrates human-centered design with intelligent tools. By embedding AI-driven workflows, prompt engineering, and automation into the creative process, I enable faster turnaround times while maintaining high-caliber output.

I lead teams within the Nestlé Studio environment, mentoring creatives and driving excellence under pressure. I continuously adapt AI and emerging technologies as tools that strengthen creative thinking and execution ensuring brands remain agile, relevant, and ahead of the curve.
