Oh hey there,
My name Is Mwangi, and I'm an advertising graduate from Ocad University in Toronto. Having lived in multiple countries and travelling the world throughout my life, I'm able to look at problems from different perspectives, which influences my work profoundly. My focus is art direction and developing creative solutions to tackle briefs for companies in any industry.
Fun Facts about me:
I own a lot of hats.
I don't like koalas.
I'm allergic to mangos.
