Swift is the perfect blend of a profound creative and reliable professional. He’s detail oriented and a natural innovator. While working with WASH United, he developed creative solutions and campaigns that helped further our public health programs and trainings. Swift’s a strong communicator regardless of the audience he’s working with and is a true pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend him to any future client!

Victoria Lewis
Founder/ Artistic Director of Sanaa
I worked with Swift9 in my position of Founder/Artistic Director of Sanaa: A better world through creativity, he was one of five Kenyan artists who participated in the event travelling to Australia. As part of his commitments, Swift painted a mural of Nelson Mandela in one of South Australia's renowned art galleries, painted a number of murals in a city laneway and participated in an artist talk, artist dinners and the street festival, attended by over 2500 patrons. Swift was a pleasure to work with, possessed a good work ethic and as an individual - impressed those who he met with his personable, trustworthy and friendly nature, during the course of his trip. I look forward to working with Swift again.

I interacted with Swift Grafitti a couple of times when I worked with the British Council. He created a themed piece that is still the attraction at the British Council car park. The originality and authenticity of his work is utterly compelling and I highly recommend him. Moraa Gitaa – Author and former Arts Manager at the British Council, Nairobi
