Ayla Anderson is the Creative Director & Designer of Also Known As. 

A Stylist and Designer, Ayla started Also Known As whilst in their second year studying a Bachelor of Design (Fashion) at Q.U.T. 

Bearing their initials, Also Known As was started in November of 2023, although had been conceptualised for a while, and participated in a pop up shop.

Being picked up by Practice Studio and Chev Lane from that pop up shop propelled A.K.A, and the brand grew from there.
