Alabi Raphael
Brand Designer and Art Director from Lagos, building visual identities for gospel artists, entertainment brands, and global campaigns for five years and counting.
On Repeat
Role
Brand Designer & Art Director
Based in
Lagos, Nigeria
For the last five years, Àlabí has turned brand stories into things people can see and feel, working with gospel artists, entertainment labels, and global releases that have reached over a million viewers.
He believes good design, like a good proverb, says more with less. Every identity he builds is meant to carry weight quietly, the kind that holds a brand together long after the first impression fades.
Based in Lagos and working with clients everywhere, he is as comfortable directing a global album rollout as he is mentoring the next designer coming up behind him.
