Hi
Hello, I'm Daniel Kandie, and I'm on a mission to cultivate growth, both within the dynamic world of design and beyond. My guiding principle? 'Existing to create.'
My work combines aesthetics and functionality, creating captivating visuals for branding, marketing, and digital content. With nearly seven years of experience, I've transitioned from freelance work, design firms to Health industries offering versatile design solutions.
I adore my profession, and the diversity of my clients' projects mirrors the diversity of my own experiences. My design world knows no bounds, fueled by the wealth of experience I've gathered. As an independent designer, I have had the privilege of embracing projects spanning brochures, menus, business cards, books, annual reports, dynamic PowerPoint presentations, and much more. you name it, I design it.
My design journey has not only shaped my skill set but also my approach, blending the vibrant cultures of Nairobi with global aesthetics. I believe in design's power to transcend borders and resonate universally.
If you're ready to transform your ideas into stunning visuals that leave a profound impact in Nairobi and beyond, let's collaborate. Together, we can bring your vision to life through the compelling art of design.
