AKU

AKU is a design agency based in Tallinn, Estonia. We develop strategies, create concepts and implement solutions across different media. Our main areas of expertise lay in branding, packaging and designed environments. How we work: starting with a simple “why?”, the work process always involves both research and intuition, aiming to provide meaningful, honest and surprising ways to solve the task. We always encourage close, trustful relationships that are achieved through direct communication between the designer and client. AKU was founded in 2012 by Alari Orav, Kaarel Kala and Uku-Kristjan Küttis, who share over 35 years of combined experience in graphic design and communications. We have enjoyed working with a wide range of clients from long-standing institutions to fresh start-ups, both locally and internationally. Selected clients: Click & Grow, CocoActive, Elisa / ZEN pre-paid phone card, Estonian Centre of Architecture, Estonian Design Centre, Estonian History Museum, Estonian National Broadcasting / E
