Jacob Mugwana

An international media journalist with experience at Lifestyle Uganda, I cover news, entertainment, fashion and digital media, with a focus on stories shaping Uganda’s creative and cultural industries. A two-time nominee for the Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards in 2014 and 2015, I combine an interest in emerging trends with a commitment to accurate, well-researched journalism. Beyond journalism, I help businesses build their online presence through website design and development, social media strategy and digital content services.
