Colourful Art. Vibrant Energy. A Creative Partner You’ll Love Working With.
I’ve always believed that colour can shift a mood, spark joy and tell a story — and that belief sits at the heart of everything I create.
I'm Jasmin Issaka...
A Manchester-based visual artist, Afro-psychedelic illustrator and graphic designer with a love for bold patterns, vibrant energy and soulful storytelling.
With over 10 years’ experience across illustration, design and creative facilitation, my work blends retro influences, Ghanaian heritage and psychedelic flair into visual worlds that feel alive. I’ve collaborated with incredible organisations including the BBC, Adidas, Factory International, Manchester International Festival and schools and communities across the UK — all while building my own art-led brand that celebrates colour, joy and self-expression.
What I Create
I create vibrant artwork for homes, brands and communities — from colourful digital illustrations and bespoke commissions to visual identities, workshops and product designs. Whether you’re decorating your space, elevating your brand or planning a creative experience, I bring clarity, character and joyful storytelling to every project.
My shop features a growing range of art prints, home décor, stationery, fashion pieces and colourful lifestyle goods — all designed to brighten everyday life. And if you’re here because you’d like something personalised, bespoke or commercially polished, you’re in the right place.
My Creative Ethos
My practice is rooted in joy, cultural expression and the belief that creativity should make people feel seen, uplifted and inspired. As a Black British Ghanaian artist, I draw from a wide mix of influences — Afro-retro motifs, colour psychology, psychedelic art, pop culture, and the visual languages of cities like Manchester. I pour those stories into everything I make.
I love working with people. I love uplifting others. And I love creating art that carries energy — pieces that warm a home, strengthen a brand or spark confidence in someone else’s creative journey. When we work together, my aim is always the same: to make the process enjoyable, supportive and brilliantly colourful.
