Hello! I am Kat Cat, a freelance 2D Motion Designer/Illustrator based between London, UK and Athens, Greece. Katcat Studio is my creative space. Thank you for visiting.
I can help brands of all sizes turn complex topics into memorable animations. From animated explainers and promos to infographics, logo animations and animated social media content, I can apply my skills to design and animate visuals that communicate clearly.
I specialize in 2D motion design, animation and character animation with After Effects, bringing stories to life with smooth, elegant motion. Beyond animation, I can turn scripts into storyboards and craft the design and illustrations for a project, ensuring a coehesive, on-brand look.
My journey as a Motion Designer spans more than 15 years. Being a full-time Motion Designer at Sky UK and The Box+ Network and dipping my paws deep into design, animation and branding, I made the switch to freelance in April 2019.
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.
