About me
Hi! I'm Catherine, a Visual Communication Design (DKV) student at Petra Christian University (Universitas Kristen Petra), Surabaya — graduating in 2025. I've been working as a freelance illustrator since 2020 and currently serve as Head of Art Department at Adventroupe Studio, an indie game studio where I lead the creative team for character design and branding. My work spans game art, character design, and visual storytelling. I love bringing characters to life with expressive designs, vibrant color palettes, and detailed linework — whether for games, social media, or personal commissions. When I'm not illustrating, I contribute to community organizations as a social media designer, combining my passion for art with meaningful social work.
