Growing up in Nairobi, designer wasn't a word you heard around the dinner table. But I was the kid whose hands couldn't stay still, cracking open radios and toys to spy on the hidden mechanics, folding paper into wings, and twisting scrap wire into steerable trucks to guide through the red dirt. I was intoxicated by the simple magic of turning raw imagination into something that actually worked, driven by an insatiable, wide-eyed wonder for how the world was put together.

That innocent thirst to engineer never left me, the playground just got bigger. The curiosity that started with paper planes evolved into mastering the rhythmic weight of a power hammer, the fierce blue glare of a metal weld, and shaping raw bamboo into functional mugs and jewellery. It grew into hand-stitching leather bags and pouches, and eventually, breathing life into static ideas through motion design on a screen.

Somewhere along the line, I realized that taking things apart, questioning broken systems, and endlessly iterating wasn't just a restless childhood habit, it was the entire blueprint for how my mind operates. I still carry that exact same kid-like hunger to learn, build, and solve. I refuse to be boxed into a single medium: whether I’m bending raw steel in the workshop or pushing pixels on a digital grid, I’m just chasing that same original spark, relentlessly building until the final build feels effortless. And even then, it never truly stops. It is a non-stop, lifelong compulsion, not as noise or chaos in my brain, but as the steady, deliberate way my gears turn.
