Hi! My name is Katarina

I am a Filipino-Canadian illustrator and designer based in Canada. I create art exploring the intersections of narrative, emotion, and world-building.

With a passion for reading, especially fiction and sci-fi, I value creating art that deviates from the expected and asks how someone or something changes a place when they inhabit it. This leads to questions of ‘what if…’ prevailing in my daily life, fueling creativity everywhere I go.
