Who is behind Álom

Meet Kia Bako-Kirkpatrick, founder of Álom.

Kia is the founder of Álom and the person you work with. He has a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in marketing and five years of professional digital marketing, photography and videography experience.

That mix of marketing training and creative skills is why Álom projects are built around enquiries, not just looks. Kia plans the strategy, writes the copy, designs and builds the website, shoots the photography and video, and checks the results, so nothing gets lost between a designer, a writer, a photographer and a marketer.

Álom is based in Inglewood and works with businesses across Perth and Western Australia, in person and online.

Álom, Inglewood WA. ABN 46 198 970 748.

Our philosophy

Our philosophy: creativity, collaboration and results

Design, marketing and visuals can change how a business is seen and chosen. These are the three ideas behind every project.

Creativity

Original ideas and real images, not templates and stock photos. Your business should look like itself and not like everyone else.

Collaboration

You are involved at every step. We share previews early, listen to your feedback and explain our choices in plain language.

Results

We agree what success looks like at the start, then track it: enquiries, bookings, search visibility and how you appear in AI answers.

Why we do what we do

Many good Perth businesses are let down by how they look and appear online. When the website, the photos and the search results are right, customers find them, trust them and get in touch. Helping a business get found and chosen is the part of the job we enjoy most.
