Hi! I’m Kato Trofimova, illustrator, designer, and creative director behind Hey Kato Studio.

I create visuals that stand out, and sometimes even wink at you—from brand identities to tiny illustrations that live in the corner of your app. Some projects are big. Some are tiny. But I treat them all with the same curiosity, care, and heart💜
