Hello! I am Kat Cat, a freelance Motion Designer/Illustrator based between London, UK and Athens, Greece. Katcat Studio is my creative space. Thank you for visiting.
Having worked as a full-time Motion Designer for 11 years (Sky UK, The Box+ Network) and dipping my paws deep into design, animation and branding, I made the switch to freelance in April 2019.
I love smooooth animation and I can come up with the most elegant and fuss free design solutions, communicating your message in the clearest way possible. That doesn't mean I don't like a bit of complexity either.
My speciality is 2D animation with After Effects, including 2D character animation, for which I can also create illustrations and characters just for you! So if you have a story to tell, if you need an explainer for your business or a promo for your product, l am here to help.
So far, I have been busy, working on projects for clients such as Coinbase, Trinity College Dublin, Deloitte, Oatly, the Body Shop, adam&eveDDB, Bibic and UiPath. I have also worked in channel branding for 4Music and Magic TV and for several TV promos and shows while full-time.
When not animating I like to wander around big cities or small towns, feeding on art, music, films, architecture and fish.
