Hi, I'm Kasia—a Polish-born illustrator artist with roots as deep as my love for bold, thought-provoking art. After years of working in design studios and fashion, it was inevitable that NKASSIA would be born!

Founded in 2021, NKASSIA is my passion project, an Illustrative Studio based in sunny Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. Here, I create art with meaning—pieces that provoke thought, spark deep conversations, and bring people together with a sprinkle of sass. Together with a small, dedicated team, we bring ideas to life, crafting everything from striking illustrative campaigns to beautiful products you can hold in your hands.

This is NKASSIA

At NKASSIA, we create sustainable products crafted in our Scottish studio and printed here in the UK, so you can own a piece of our vision while respecting the planet. Our art blends the familiar with the surreal, exploring themes that connect us all—love, heartbreak, loneliness, humor, sass, and more. We take on topics that matter: mental health, equality, love, and care for nature. Each piece is designed not just to look good, but to mean something, to spark conversation and bring a little more balance and thoughtfulness into the world.

Thank you for stopping by and getting to know a bit about me and my love child, NKASSIA. If you’re looking to collaborate or have a project in mind, reach out! Let’s make some waves together.
