Katerina Z.

Hi! I'm Katerina, a vintage-style illustrator who helps brands build a unique visual identity through hand-drawn, engraving-inspired artwork. My work draws on classic etching and 19th-century illustration traditions, ornate detail, storytelling composition, and a timeless, tailor-made feel that gives brands character. This isn't just a style I picked up, I actually studied it. I have a degree in mural painting restoration, and I spent years working hands-on with a historical heritage, learning how artists centuries ago built up detail, line, and texture by hand. That experience is where my eye for vintage detail really comes from, and it's still what guides every piece I create today. I've applied this style across packaging illustration, editorial and book art, apparel graphics, and brand visual systems, always adapting the linework and mood to fit the brand's world, not the other way around. If you're building a brand that wants to feel crafted, storied, and one-of-a-kind, I'd love to bring that vintage hand-drawn quality to it. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. Cheers!
