Hi, I’m Katie Yang, a visual development artist and 2D animator. I design characters, props, and backgrounds for children's animation, turning rough sketches into turnarounds and final assets. I love collaborating across teams to help bring stories to life with clear design language and expressive visuals. My recent work includes My Friend Maisy for Sky Kids, The Rubbish World of Dave Spud, and a BBC CBeebies interactive game. I’ve also worked with Moonbug and on projects that span from pre-production through to final animation, and I’m always excited to tackle new challenges in design and animation.…Hi, I’m Katie Yang, a visual development artist and 2D animator.
