Available to hire
Hi, I’m Caroline Gwara—an operations-minded media professional and visual storyteller based in Nairobi, Kenya. I work across videography, photography, and video post-production, bringing hands-on production experience from independent films, commercials, documentaries, and live events.
Right now, I’m Director & Head of Operations at ORCGA Media Ltd, where I oversee workflows, team onboarding, and the operational infrastructure that keeps production moving smoothly. I also contribute creatively through camera and lighting direction, editing, colour grading, sound, and deadline-driven delivery—so every project lands with both craft and consistency.
