I am passionate about using new media and creative arts for positive social transformation. My goal is to create content, which makes people reflect about the condition of the world around them and inspire them to take appropriate action to make it better. I believe, as a multimedia producer, I have an obligation to create work which captures the state of society and raise consciousness of issues that we take for granted but are important in our quest for sustainable development. I believe development starts with a reflection of who we are and where we are. Good content allows us to reflect on the condition of our world and stimulates dialogue for positive transformation. I like documenting positive narratives about Africa, stories of hope, courage, and resilience. I’m a creative person who is able to work independently and also within a team. I enjoy problem-solving and have good leadership and organisational skills. I studied Creative Art and Design where I majored in Film, Photography, and Design. I have 8 years’ experience working as a videographer, graphic designer, photographer, web designer, and digital content creator. Over the years I have gained valuable experience in multimedia production and have done work for organisations like TRACE, Czech Embassy, World Education, Culture Fund Zimbabwe, British Council, Intwasa Arts Festival, National Arts Council, Oxfam, Internews/CIT, Disabled Women of Africa, Zimbabwe Music Awards, Alliance Francaise, Zimbabwe Ophthalmological Society, Scripture Union among others. I am skilled in Multimedia Production, Scriptwriting, Video Editing, Cinematography, Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography, Audio Production and Branding. I take great pride in the work I do and always strive to deliver effective, focused and on-target solutions.

I am a multi-media freelance journalist based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, with well over ten years’ experience in print and radio journalism. I initially pursued a career in teaching, but after an increasing interest in journalism in the intervening years, I went back to college and graduated from a public journalism school in the country in 2002. I share the view of famous British playwright Tom Stoppard who once said: “I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon.” In spite of a seemingly endless and much reported cycle of socioeconomic problems, I believe there is still a lot to report on in Zimbabwe, especially from Bulawayo, the country's second biggest city where I am based. Amidst the doom and gloom that the country’s current situation often evokes, Zimbabweans, who have earned a reputation of being resilient in the face of adversity, still find ways to get by, doing their best to take care of their families’ daily needs, still sending their children to school, holding on to the hope that things shall be better soon. Such a situation, no doubt, provides a rich basis for several inspiring stories, some of which I have been able to capture and keenly strive to continue doing so for as long as I can.
