My name is Kasia, I have been living in Edinburgh for the last 20 years and I am the mother of Michael, 9.5yo with ASD. As a result of Michael’s sensory clothing needs, I designed a range of clothes to help him feel more comfortable throughout his day. These clothes have made a significant difference for Michael so I decided to launched a company called Blue Bee Mike, offering clothing specifically tailored for children with disabilities.
My clothing is designed not only for children with ASD but also for kids with a variety of other disabilities.
The name behind my brand holds a special meaning, one that's close to my heart. "Blue Bee" is inspired by the Austroplebeia australis, a rare and fascinating species of blue bees found only in Australia. These bees are unique not only for their striking blue color, but also because they have distinct environmental needs. Much like children with disabilities, they thrive in conditions that are different from the ordinary – they are resilient, beautiful, and special in their own way.
