Hi! I'm Kato Trofimova—Latvia-based illustrator and creative director.

I create clear, emotionally resonant visuals using bold color, minimalist geometry, and playful metaphor. My work is shaped by the clarity of Italian design and the warm simplicity of Scandinavian craft—powered by coffee ☕️
  • My work spans illustration, brand design, and creative strategy for clients like Adobe, UNICEF, Guild, L'Oréal, and The Webby Awards.

    With a background in linguistics and art history, I bring deep sensitivity to narrative and visual language. In 2024, I completed Brand Strategy & Design at Central Saint Martins (UK) under Marc Wood, where I refined my structured, conceptual approach to storytelling.

    My visual language draws from two traditions I deeply admire: the joyful clarity of Italian design masters (Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari, Giovanni Pintori) and the warm, human-centered simplicity of Scandinavian designers like Kay Bojesen.
