We’ve just launched two exciting new sleeve cover designs inspired by Alex Lewis!
Introducing Mountain Adventures and Travelling Tracks.
Last year we visited Leeds Arts University to challenge the design students with a live brief.
They were invited to choose 1 of 3 set briefs to design a new sleeve cover for our prosthetics. The response we received was awesome and we had so much fun working our way through the patterns!
Among the talented pool of submissions, student Amy Carr emerged victorious in the "Alex Lewis" brief.
Alex, a quadruple amputee who lost his limbs to Sepsis back in 2013, is an esteemed collaborator with Koalaa’s prosthetic designs from the very beginning, with our ALX prosthetic sleeve named after him!
The brief was to create a design with muted, earthy, no nonsense colours with themes of adventure, ambition and personality but not to stand out too much from the crowd.
You can watch more on Alex’s story and work with Koalaa here.
Amy's winning designs are now available for all our users to order for both the ALX sleeve and the Paww - perfect for anyone wanting to step into adventure and unleash their wild side.

It’s inspiring to see students tackling real-world design challenges with such creativity. Collaborating with Leeds Arts University clearly gave emerging designers a chance to showcase fresh ideas while exploring meaningful applications for prosthetics. The variety of sleeve cover concepts must have made the selection process exciting. Projects like this encourage innovation and confidence in young talent. It also reminds me how platforms and communities, even around topics like cineby,sc, can spark creative conversations and inspire unique design perspectives across different fields.
Working through multiple design briefs sounds like a fantastic creative process, and it's great that the final patterns turned out so well. Seeing different artistic approaches always makes projects like this more engaging and inspiring. It reminds me how tools like alight motion premium also help creators experiment with unique visual styles, refine details, and bring polished, professional-looking designs to life.
I loved reading about the new Limb Buddies and how everyone feels heard in the Koalaa Community. It made me think about my favorite pokemon
