Hi I’m Katya, and I am an illustrator and designer based in Cape Town, South Africa. I have been working in the advertising industry for almost a decade . As a result, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of brands, big and small across multiple industries.

As an illustrator I like to work both traditionally and digitally, meaning that I am able to be quite versatile. While I do work with brands in my professional capacity as a designer, I also maintain a large portfolio of personal illustration works created under my personal brand, Pony of the Sea. You can find me living my art dreams at various Cape Town markets every now and again.

My program skills include Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, XD, Figma , After Effects and Premier. I’ve worked on many different types of below-the-line, through-the-line, digital and UX projects.

I also animate and edit video.
