About Kathryn Octaviano:

“Working primarily in graphic design and illustration, my work centers on identity-focused branding projects and illustration-based work. I’m drawn to personal narratives shaped by memory and reflection, and to the ways visual work can hold and express these experiences. This interest shapes how I approach my process, which is iterative and exploratory. I begin with sketches, research, and reflection, allowing ideas to develop through experimentation across a range of mediums, including clay, ink, and painting. I particularly gravitate toward hand-drawn typography, tactile textures, and illustrative elements, using material and form to bring a sense of handmade care and presence into my work.”
