Built by Creatives. Designed for Experience.

Shifteye Studios was founded as an extension of Shifteye’s broader creative ecosystem, including photography, videography, production, and cultural curation.

What began as an art gallery and working studio evolved into a flexible venue for ideas, conversations, exhibitions, live performances, brand activations, workshops, and meaningful gatherings.

The intention was simple:

Create a professional environment without losing creative authenticity.

Located at The Priory Place in Hurlingham, Nairobi, Shifteye Studios serves as both a production space and a cultural platform, adaptable, grounded, and thoughtfully managed.

The space exists to bridge art and commerce, offering a professional environment while maintaining creative authenticity.

Led by Zachary Saitoti, a Creative Director and Photographer with over 20 years of experience across Nairobi and the UK, Shifteye Studios continues to host diverse voices and forward-thinking events.
