Kaja Kajfez developed her love towards drawing as a child. What first started as experimentation in different traditional mediums led her to eventually invest in her first graphics tablet that steered her work into the digital realm. Since then she's been working completely digitally but loves to add organic textures and brush strokes to her work that she develops manually. Her artistic passion together with her interest in computer technologies led her to get a degree in 'Multimedia, Design and Application' at University North in Croatia where she oriented towards visual communication. During her college years, she started getting freelance work thanks to which she was able to establish her own Illustration Studio that mainly focuses on illustration, lettering and surface pattern design. Besides doing her dream job, she loves to take long walks in nature, explore different historical periods, scroll through old picture books, listen to online concerts and spend time with her dog.
