My Story

I’m Steven, a communications strategist and multidisciplinary designer with a career shaped by impact, innovation, and storytelling across health, technology, and creative industries. Over the past decade, I’ve led communications, design, and digital engagement for organizations working at national and global scale.

​

My journey began at Kenya’s Ministry of Health within the National AIDS Control Programme, where I spent seven years strengthening ICT systems and public health communication. I later joined the KEMRI–Wellcome Trust Research Programme, guiding communication and public engagement for five years and translating complex scientific work for partners at Oxford University and the Nuffield Department of Medicine.

​

From 2018 to 2020, I stepped into the world of AI and digital identity with Element Inc., a New York–based company deploying mobile biometric solutions across health, telecommunications, and banking. That experience deepened my passion for technology that solves real-world problems.

​

Today, I work independently while building a family of brands under Safari Creative Studio—an ecosystem that includes:

• SafariNation.store, an e‑commerce brand celebrating African identity and faith

• Safari Faith Kids, a YouTube channel teaching Bible study and simple prayers to young learners

• Safari Studio Music, a space for sound, creativity, and digital storytelling

• Additional creative ventures that blend design, technology, and purpose​

I specialize in fast-turnaround websites, YouTube channel setup, digital marketing, AI-powered animations, and brand storytelling. I’m a hands-on creator who prefers to show my work rather than talk about it - and I’m proud to have been recognized by Canva as part of its top 1% of designers worldwide, a platform now used by over 260 million creatives.

​

My work has taken me across multiple countries for training, collaboration, and professional growth, but the role that brings me the most joy is teaching the Word of God - especially in Sunday school. That passion inspired my latest project, Safari Faith Kids Bible Study, created to help children discover God’s promises, understand Scripture, and build a foundation of faith.

If you’re looking for a creative partner who blends strategy, design, technology, and heart - let’s build something meaningful together.
