Hi, I'm Kat! I’m an illustrator, animator, & art director based in Brooklyn, NY. 

For the past six years, I have served as a Senior Designer at IBM, specializing in illustration and motion design for a variety of internal projects. In this role, I’ve focused on transforming user interactions with internal tools by incorporating illustrations that foster connection and enhance representation.

My typical day includes creating new illustration assets, editing motion design projects, and collaborating with clients, project owners, and other designers to provide feedback and refine project work. I also dedicate time to strategic thinking and exploring creative solutions for enhancing internal tools. This may involve redesigning login experiences, developing a set of illustrations to represent the latest AI models, or crafting storyboards to simplify complex user processes.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, including Templafy, IBM, VidiCo, Disney, Netflix, Dunham + Company, Mustache Agency, Barilla, Grammarly, DigitalOcean, PwC, DistrictFeed, and NewMeasures.

I also take on freelance projects for design, illustration, and art direction. I welcome inquiries and collaborations — feel free to reach out to me at kaitlyn.mae.altman@gmail.com.
