My name is Alex Kamara. I'm an independent brand strategist & designer based in Manchester. I was born in Freetown, Sierra Leone and raised in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
My creative journey began with ceramics, illustration, and printmaking. My practice today is focused on brand strategy, visual identity, and digital design. I'm obsessed with brands and branding, alongside ongoing creative interests in print and publication design.
I work with early-stage organisations, emerging creatives, and established businesses across sectors, with a particular interest in Arts & Culture, Wellness, and Social Enterprise. Recent work includes brand and campaign development for an East Midlands-based social housing campaign, digital development for a wellness brand, and several self-initiated projects.
This site features a selection of personal and professional work across brand, digital, and print, alongside publications, brand explorations, and academic work as they emerge. I take on a limited number of clients and projects each year to deliver the best possible work. To discuss a project or to request a full portfolio, please get in touch by email.
