Bio / About Me

I'm a multidisciplinary creative and entrepreneur with a passion for innovation across entertainment, agribusiness, and real estate. My experience spans A&R, event production, creative direction, and modeling, where I've helped artists and brands craft unforgettable experiences and cultural moments.

I'm the founder of Barn & Barter, an agritech startup building logistics infrastructure and digital platforms for East Africa's agricultural supply chains, and B&B Move, its logistics arm. I also recently launched The House of David, a creative incubator and platform for elevating artistic expression through sound, imagery, and writing.

Currently entering the real estate space, I bring a holistic vision into everything I build — merging creativity, strategic thinking, and business impact.
