About
I’m David. I take ideas from brief to launch
I’m a communications strategist and project manager who also builds brands and makes pictures. For more than ten years I’ve helped public offices, media houses, nonprofits and young businesses plan the work, rally the people and tell the story well.
I started in Nigeria, studied at Bedfordshire and Westminster in the UK, and now work from Toronto. Along the way I founded Sarauta Network, host the Ndeya Live podcast and shoot as Kuko.

Project manager
I scope it, budget it, staff it and keep it moving, from kickoff to the final report.

Communicator
I shape messages for boards, newsrooms, staff and the communities they serve.

Builder
I start brands, platforms and products, and help creatives turn talent into income.
