Katarina Stapic – Illustrator/Graphic Designer

Born and bred in the land ‘Down Under’ I grew up in a world of
Dreamtime and possibilities, in one of the greatest cities on earth,
Sydney. My whole life I have immersed myself in the arts: drawing,
performing, reading and creating; all of which have helped mold
me into the well-rounded visual communicator I am today.

I studied fine arts in the year 2007 at Meadowbank TAFE; before
attending the Billy Blue College of Design in North Sydney from
2008-2011, where I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied
Design (Digital Media).

From 2010-2011 I landed my dream job with my favourite childhood
pencil company, Faber-Castell, as their illustrator and graphic designer.
I continue to be their illustrator for ‘Creativity for Kids’ workshops held
around Sydney during the festive seasons and promotional tours.
These workshops have led me to work at the Art Gallery of NSW
during the ‘Picasso’ opening on November 12th 2011, and at
Big W Rouse Hill Town Centre April 7th 2011.

My role as an illustrator is to help guide and inspire creativity and
imagination among children. I am in charge of demonstrating how
to draw characters, do children’s portraits, design colouring activities
and promoting Faber-Castell’s ‘Playing and Learning’ product range.
I was also commissioned as a sketch artist for Faber-Castell’s 250th
international Australian anniversary event at the Sydney Opera House
November 18th 2011.

I currently work as a graphic designer in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire,
and I love every minute of it! My goals in the future would be to have
an extensive and well-rounded career in illustration, graphic design and
visual communication. To travel and experience the world so I can truly
connect to people with my art through my experiences.

I want to create magic, evoke emotions and bring fantasy to life.
