SERVICES

What we can create together

Whether you need a brand that turns heads, packaging that sells, or illustrations that tell your story. I bring the creative direction and craft to make it happen.

LET'S TALK

01

Editorial & Brand Illustration

Illustrations that work as hard as your words for magazines, books, campaigns and digital media. I also build custom illustration systems (characters, icons, spot illustrations) that give brands a visual language they can own.

Packaging Design

Illustration-led packaging that earns its place on the shelf. From wine labels to product wraps, I combine hand-crafted detail with print precision to create packaging people pick up and remember.

Brand Identity

A logo is the beginning, not the destination. I design complete visual identities, logo, colour, typography, guidelines, that hold together across every touchpoint, from business cards to billboards. Built to grow with you.

Marketing & Communications

Once the brand is solid, everything else follows. I create social content, printed materials, and digital assets that stay on-brand and make your communication instantly recognisable whatever the channel.

ABOUT

Design with intention & purpose

I'm Katia, a freelance illustrator and graphic designer from the Italian Alps. I work remotely with clients across Europe and beyond bringing ideas to life with a warm, distinctive visual style rooted in nature, craft and clarity.

I believe good design isn't just beautiful. It's precise, purposeful, and built to last.

REVIEWS

Kind words from past clients

“Katia fully met our expectations with the creation of an illustrated map highlighting the key landmarks of the city of Trento—from the initial sketch through development to the final result. The work was greatly appreciated both by us and by the end users: the university students of Trento. Katia supported us throughout both the graphic design process and the production of the illustrated map.”

★★★★★
The Sensitive Flower
“We contacted Katia for an illustration to be printed on a T-shirt, one that could represent our choir and the place we come from. We believe she fully captured our idea and managed to develop it in a very short time. We hope there will be an opportunity to collaborate again in the future.”

★★★★★
Coro la Chiusa di Volargne
