About this event
What is it?
In August 2023, Techscaler by CodeBase put out an open call to emerging and early-career artists in Scotland to design a mural that reflects the principles of the Techscaler programme.
From those who applied, four were commissioned to create a mural design.
What can I expect?
Join us as we showcase the four designs and celebrate the amazing range of work produced. We will also announce which design has been chosen to be turned into a mural in the reception of CodeBase Edinburgh.
Nibbles and drinks will be provided.

Kasia Kozakiewicz-Woodward
Kasia Kozakiewicz-Woodward is a freelance illustrator from Poland. After graduating in Architecture, followed by working within the field, she realised that it wasn't the path she wished to pursue. During the pandemic, she discovered a passion for digital drawing after purchasing a tablet for beginners, which led to her immediate pursuit of a career as an illustrator.
Her inspiration primarily comes from both nature and the observation of everyday life, and she spends quite some time hiking in the Scottish mountains, alongside discovering new coffee spots and running.
