About YAKA

A boutique strategy and design studio.

We intentionally work with a limited number of partners to ensure depth of thinking and direct strategic involvement. Every engagement is approached as a long-term build—not a short campaign.

Meet the founder

Ms Ché builds at the intersection of brand architecture, operational systems and cultural programming.

Her work helps founders translate ideas into scalable institutions—brands with enough structure to operate, enough feeling to matter and enough intelligence to evolve.

Through YAKA, she is building the infrastructure that allows African hospitality brands to compete globally.

Based in Sierra Leone. Working across Africa and international markets.

Our environment

The strategy is tested in the real world.

YAKA operates within the broader Ché ecosystem: a group of ventures that function as living laboratories for the frameworks we develop with partners and clients.

Serious brands need more than a good look.
