Graphic Design | Illustration | Art Direction
Hello there, I’m Kate, born in the Canary Islands and raised between there and Denmark, I now live and work in Copenhagen, where you’ll often find me somewhere between my sketchbook and a screen full of data, playing around with pixels and vectors.
When I began working on my series of science, space, and physics posters, it was rooted in a deep, personal passion for science, technology, and space exploration. Lucky for me, I’ve had the chance to turn that passion into my work.
Whether it’s exploring sustainable farming solutions, observing Earth from orbit, or imagining the future of interstellar exploration, my goal is to make this technical and intricate topics to the public in a understandable but also captivating way.
I can help you understand your data and communicate powerful stories through tailored and unique solutions that span multiple media: infographics, pitch decks, case studies, visual concepts, illustrations, print, editorial, mission patches, storytelling, animation, exhibitions. Whatever helps tell the story best.

All science touches on art; all art has its scientific side
Armand Trousseau
A word from the designer
What do a scientist and an
artist (designer) have in common?
I’ve always believed that one of the biggest misconceptions of our time is the separation between art and science. Sure, we might approach things differently and end up with different outcomes, but at the heart of both lies creativity, curiosity and a sense of wonder about the world around us, thinking beyond what we see and challenging what we know.
As a designer who’s spent the last few years orbiting the worlds of science and space, I’ve made it my mission to connect these two sides. I love finding ways to bring tech, research, scientific exploration to life through visuals that make people pause, understand, and see the beauty and the science behind these fascinating fields.
The democratization of STEM is something I feel strongly about. Science shouldn’t be kept in labs or academic journals, buried in jargon that very few understand, it needs to be accessible to everyone.
That’s where good design comes in. It’s not just about making things look nice (though that helps) t’s about turning complex ideas into understandable visuals that make science and tech less intimidating and more approachable.
In a world full of noise, misinformation, and growing skepticism, I want to use my creative skills to help clear the fog and build trust in the incredible advancements shaping our world.
