Hello! I’m Kat Cat, a freelance 2D Motion Designer/Illustrator based between London, UK and Athens, Greece. Welcome to Katcat Studio, my creative space where I turn complex topics into memorable animations for brands of all sizes.
I specialize in 2D animation with After Effects, creating explainer videos, infographics, logo animations, promos and social media content. I can handle everything from turning scripts into storyboards to crafting the design and illustration and adding smooth elegant motion-ensuring a cohesive, on-brand look and clear communication.
With over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working full-time with Sky UK and The Box+ Network before transitioning to freelance in 2019. Since then, I have been busy working on projects for clients such as Coinbase, Trinity College Dublin, Deloitte, Oatly, the Body Shop, adam&eveDDB and UiPath.
When not animating I like to wander around big cities or small towns, feeding on art, music, films, architecture and fish.
