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 smooth animation and coming up with design that is elegant and clear in communication. My speciality is 2D design and animation with After Effects, including 2D character animation, for which I can also create unique illustrations and characters.
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.
