In Kenya’s growing digital economy, a few individuals have managed to build influence by combining practical skills, business knowledge, and a willingness to share information. One of those individuals is King Kariuki.
Known officially as Duncan Wang’ombe Kariuki, King Kariuki is a graphic designer, brand consultant, entrepreneur, content creator, website developer, and passport consultant. Over the years, he has built a reputation for helping businesses establish strong brands while also helping ordinary Kenyans navigate government services such as passport applications, company registration, and other eCitizen services.
Early Life
King Kariuki was born and raised in Nyeri County, Kenya. His journey was shaped by both challenges and determination. Growing up in a rural environment, he learned the value of hard work at an early age.
One of the defining moments of his life was losing his father at the age of ten. The experience forced him to develop resilience and self-reliance much earlier than most people. Instead of allowing difficult circumstances to limit his ambitions, he used them as motivation to build a better future.
Discovering Graphic Design
Unlike many professionals who learn their craft in college, King Kariuki’s journey into design was largely self-taught.
Driven by curiosity and a desire to create, he spent countless hours learning graphic design through online tutorials, YouTube videos, and practical experimentation. What started as a personal interest gradually developed into a professional skill.
Over time, he mastered:
- Logo Design
- Brand Identity Development
- Social Media Branding
- Marketing Design
- Website Design
- Digital Marketing
This foundation would later become the basis of his business ventures.
Building Evarlic

Through Evarlic Creations, he provides services such as:
- Logo Design
- Brand Identity Systems
- Website Design
- Social Media Design

- Business Branding Consultation
His philosophy is simple: businesses that look professional earn trust faster.
Rather than focusing only on attractive designs, he emphasizes branding that helps businesses communicate clearly and attract customers.

- KRA Services
- NTSA Services

- Police Clearance Applications
- eCitizen Services
This move allowed him to bridge the gap between technology and public service, helping many Kenyans who found online government systems confusing or difficult to navigate.

Through educational content and hands-on assistance, he has helped thousands of Kenyans understand:

His ability to explain complex immigration processes in simple language has earned him a loyal audience across social media platforms.

His content focuses on:

Instead of relying on complicated terminology, he focuses on practical advice that ordinary people can apply immediately.
This approach has helped him build a community of entrepreneurs, students, travelers, and business owners who follow his content for guidance and updates.
