An ever learning artist in the fields of animation, storyboarding and graphic design, my passion is art and i love what i do and learning my trades as much as i can

Biography

I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya and ive spent all my life there apart from the few times that ive got to travel the world to places like America, Ghana, dubai and Netherlands. Travelling is one of life's greatest teachers and experiences. i have worked in severral companies but only one animation studio and it was a grand 7 years of work the atmosphere the experience was just phenomenal.  I did set up my own company called Evolusion graphics and from 2015 I have worked as a storyboard artist. companies like Fat Rain Films, Scan group, The World Bank, MB96 and Insignia Productions, have been my clients. My notable works have been storyboards for television adverts for Safaricom, NIC Bank, Airtel, Glovo, Valon, KCB Bank and several others. As well as storyboards for animated videos namely: Senai a refugee’s story for Amnesty International. Storyboard and animation for Association of Kenyan Insurer’s andstoryboard and animation for Eaton Electronic.

I was a part time lecturer at The KIMC which is one of Kenya’s top mass media training Institution.I was hired within their Animation Programme, to teach the first year students the basics of drawingand graphic design. As well as offering advice and critic to the third year animation students projectsand overseeing their progress as they develop their final year project.

Was married for a short while hehe but sadly it ended in divorce , some good life lessons from that, now i spend more time focusing on me and improving aspects of my life like my artwork. I joined the Triggerfish academy and learnt storyboarding, you can never learn too much and its something i wished was around when i first started storyboarding, been walking blind for a while in that.

i go to the gym i love sports and crafts, hate running buts it important, my latest project is building my own pc so far im more than halfway there and its going to help in my workflow cause its a powerful piece of equipment, enjoyig the thrill of buying parts and fixing it myself with the help of my bothersome tuxedo cat mittens.

Thank you for taking time to read this.

Warm Regards

Bob
