KIILU

MAKING CREATIVITY CONTAGIOUS.

Artist.Storyteller.Community Builder.

I help brands connect with culture through original artwork, authentic storytelling and experiences people want to be part of.

Rooted in Birmingham. Creating everywhere.

01 / The art

An artist who makes clothes.

I turn stencil art and dot abstraction into one-of-one garments and hands-on experiences people can be part of.

The one-of-ones

Beyond the canvas.

I'm also a creative entrepreneur. Through ROSKO Studios, I design and produce merchandise for brands and cultural clients.

02 / The stories

The thinking. The making.

I share the ideas and processes behind what I create. The aim is always the same: to make creativity contagious.

The thinking

Creative ideas, reflections and the stories behind the work.

The making

From everyday garment to one-of-one artwork.

03 / The people

Made together. Felt around the world.

I bring people together through creative experiences in Birmingham, London, Paris and Nairobi, each rooted in its local culture.
