Hello, I'm Katya! I am a graduate of UCSC with a B.A. in Art & Design for Games and Playable Media, a dedicated full-time library employee at MPC, and aspiring Librarian.
I'm 29 years old and have been making art nearly my entire life. I dabble in many different kinds of art, both digital and traditional. I am most passionate about character design, story driven art, and 2D animation.
Outside of work and school, I am passionate about the arts, knowledge, and an advocate for self-expression.
I am available for freelance work and commissions on a case by case basis.
All images are my own illustrations.
Juice Warrior
Juice Warrior was created for the first Game Jam for the UCSC capstone series of FA24. I produced, animated, wrote, and programmed for it.
This is a prototype for a passion project, and eventually a polished/fully complete game.
It's available for download here.
The follow-up prototype is playable in browser here.

JASO(N)
JASO(N) is an eventual webcomic that will have animated components.
I've created two animatics (first, second) for it at this time, and have been working on comic pages, animations, and character art for 10+ years.
When the first arc is completed, the website will go live.
If other comic hosting sites are found, this information will be updated.
