Obaayaa Kwarteng

FOUNDER AND BRAND STRATEGIST

OKWDESIGNS started when I was trying to build my own fashion brand and realised how hard it is to get the brand side right without help.

I began as a graphic designer, moved into brand identity, then spent five years as a UX/UI designer in tech, working on product flows, design systems and user research. That taught me to design for how people actually behave, not just how things look.

Somewhere along the way I fell out of love with design for its own sake and in love with the strategy behind it. Now that's where every project starts.

What we believe

Strategy before style

A beautiful brand with no clear position is just decoration.

Design for real customers

Every page and post should make it easier for someone to choose you.

Keep it simple

Clear plans, clear pricing and a project board so you always know what's next.
