Studio for explainer videos, motion design and interactive media in Berlin

Music connects: Vibes of Kenya

Service: Art direction, illustration
Client: Goldmines-Foundation
Commissioned by: NDA

“Ngoma ni muungano” means “Music connects”. This Swahili proverb symbolically framed the project, which was realized together with the Goldmines Foundation and the executing agency.

The goal was to give visibility to young talents from Kibera in Nairobi and to support the development of a local recording studio. I was responsible for the visual implementation, including art direction, illustrations, and animations for the website and campaign. The music created the framework, the design created the stage.
