Starting Point
After graduating from a Nairobi design school, Kevin struggled to find steady clients. Most opportunities were either low-paying local gigs or international platforms with high fees and long withdrawal delays.
Discovering FreelancKE
Kevin joined FreelancKE in early 2025. He created a strong profile showcasing his Figma and branding work, passed the platform’s skills verification, and started applying to design jobs posted by Kenyan startups and SMEs.
“The best part? Every time a client released payment, the money hit my M-Pesa in minutes — no waiting 14 days or losing 20% to forex.”
