Katia Boarino is a Berlin-based motion and brand designer, as well as an illustrator with a strong visual voice. Her passion for visual communication began in Torino, Italy, where she studied design and direction and discovered how powerful imagery can shape ideas and emotions.
She started her career working on a wide range of motion design projects, and over time her focus naturally expanded toward branding—using motion not just as an animation tool, but as a way to build systems, identities, and stories that move.
Today she works internationally with clients across Italy, Germany, and the UK, bringing together strategic thinking, motion language, and expressive design. Alongside her commercial work, she continues to develop her own illustration style, collaborating with agencies and brands and carving her place in the contemporary visual arts landscape.
