Thinking in pictures.
I’m Kamil—designer, illustrator, father of two, climber, and founder of Kaiwa Studio. I founded the studio in 2017. My work is rooted in visual communication—the language I feel most fluent in.
I've been drawing since I could hold a pen.
Every class, every lesson—I was always drawing. While others wrote notes, I sketched. While they explained in sentences, I drew it out. That’s how I processed information.
At some point, I realized this wasn’t just something I enjoyed. It’s fundamentally how I see the world.
Illustration is translation, not decoration.
When I illustrate something, I’m not decorating it—I’m translating it. I take an abstract idea and give it form, turning it into something you can hold in your mind.
Good illustration doesn’t just sit next to the message. It becomes the message.
I learned in an agency, then chose independence.
For years, I worked in an agency. I learned discipline, refined my craft, and became efficient under pressure. But when the structure began to fall apart, I had to choose: stay in a system that valued speed over substance, or step away and build something I truly believed in.
In 2017, I founded Kaiwa Studio. I chose craft over compromise.
Size doesn't determine value.
I don’t believe every project needs to be groundbreaking. But I do believe every project—whether it reaches millions or serves a dedicated few—deserves care and attention.
I take the time to understand not only what you’re communicating, but why it matters. Then I shape a visual language that expresses it clearly and authentically. That’s the foundation of how I work.
We're drowning in sameness.
Generic stock imagery, AI-generated visuals, template designs that technically work but say nothing. I understand the appeal—it’s fast, accessible, easy.
But when you’ve built something real—when you’ve poured time, energy, and passion into your work—why settle for visuals that could belong to anyone? Your story deserves to be told with the same care you put into building it.
Design is a conversation.
When you work with Kaiwa Studio, you work with someone who still draws by hand—someone who thinks deeply and believes craft matters. I dig into what makes your project unique and build a visual system that reflects that—with intention, clarity, and a human touch.
Because in the end, good design isn’t about trends or algorithms. It’s about understanding another’s vision—and bringing it to life.
