Using visual storytelling to preserve cultural memory, amplify underrepresented voices, and create lasting social impact across African communities.
About
A storyteller
rooted in community
I am a Ugandan visual artist and documentary filmmaker whose work sits at the intersection of storytelling, education, culture, and community development.
Working alongside communities across Uganda, I witnessed how information often fails to reach people — literacy barriers, language differences, limited channels. These realities shaped my belief that visual storytelling is not just an art form, but a tool for equity and social change.
Through film, design, photography, and digital media, I seek to create stories that inform, inspire, and preserve what matters most: the lives, cultures, and resilience of African communities.
I hold a Bachelor of Industrial and Fine Arts (Second-Class Honours) from Makerere University, where I was a Government Sponsored Student.
