Personality
You could describe me as introverted, or selectively so. I have zero interest in football scores or who hit who on a reality show, but I WILL spend hours talking about morality, logic, science & business.
Beliefs
I am not sure anymore. I believe in God, and would say I am more Christian than not. But in a world where everyone claims this I wonder if I am truly saved. Perhaps most people struggle with this at some point.
Lifestyle
My alarm used to be set to 04:00am daily, & I would be up 10 minutes before it rang! Now I am up typing this right now, having not slept a wink all night LOL. I guess I live a healthy lifestyle more on paper now than in practice.
Hobbies
I like philosophy & debate, songwriting & walking (some of my best ideas emerge). Less mentally taxing, I game once in a while. I like my games traumatic & emotionally draining, perhaps to balance out the peaceful & boring silence that is my daily life.
Work Experience & Progression
I am a creative professional, with over 10 years of employment experience, & a now full-time creative entrepreneur living in Lusaka Province, Zambia. I got my start with content creation at age 19 in Ndola. I went viral, gained popularity, and somehow ended up producing my own TV show to promote talent on Muvi Television. Since then I have worked in print design with Six Light Media, done motion design & 3D with Giraffe Creatives, and most recently worked for ZESCO.
Education
I have a Business Management Diploma & a few minor certificates here and there in digital marketing & video editing.
Overall, I am a continuous learner & this ability to quickly absorb, understand & utilize complex information is what has served me best in my work life. If I need to know it, give me 3 days & a can of coffee.
Software Proficiencies (Only Free or Licenses obtained)
Licensing & Ethics
While I can use most commercial industry standard software at a high level, I strive to ensure that I use legally risk free assets, programs and methods in delivering my services. As such I have dedicated time & effort towards adopting the use of free or strictly only software that I have paid for & have the rights to use.
While not many creatives care or follow any guidelines in this area, I believe that doing so only enhances how far my work can go. In studying the market trends in software & tools, I believe it is clear that shifts occur over time with early adopters being advantaged over late. Piracy is easy, but it highly correlates with late adoption or stagnation. Why learn about copyright law when you do not care about piracy? why avoid risks for your clients when even they may not care or be aware? Furure proofing.
