Hi, I’m Kat Austria, a freelance illustrator based in the Philippines. I create character-driven artwork for children's books and other projects, adapting to various styles per the author's vision. I design expressive human and inanimate characters, and I enjoy turning stories into life using tools such as Clip Studio Paint Pro, MediBang Paint Pro, Adobe Photoshop, and InDesign. Beyond illustration, I’ve started an art business to turn my artworks into merch, and I have experience in data encoding and a CS internship, which keeps my problem-solving and technical skills sharp. I love collaborating with authors and teams to bring ideas to life, and I’m always exploring new techniques and business opportunities to grow as an artist and creator.…Hi, I’m Kat Austria, a freelance illustrator based in the Philippines.
