My name is Kathryn (but feel free to call me Kat!) Octaviano, a graphic designer and illustrator based in Austin, TX. I’m currently an honors student at St. Edward’s University double-majoring in graphic design and user experience design, along with a minor in art.
A lot of my design work features my hand-drawn illustrations, and when it doesn’t, I love experimenting with custom or expressive typography that captures the same handmade, human quality. I’m drawn to work that feels personal, tactile, and emotionally resonant - whether I’m building a brand identity or crafting a standalone visual piece.
I take inspiration from everyday experiences, relationships, and memories: those little moments that make life feel meaningful. When I’m not designing, I’m probably doodling in a coffeeshop, trying out a new recipe, or watching my roommates play indie games in our living room.
I’m especially passionate about branding and storytelling, and I love helping people express their identity through thoughtful, expressive design.
