Pato Katz
I hold a degree in Graphic Design from Ort Argentina. (1994)
Currently, I am working as an Art Director and Set Designer for window displays, installations, and events, through Photography and Media
My experience in design has played a key role in shaping my composition skills and visual storytelling style while creating scenes or imagining possible scenarios—always beginning from a solid concept or idea, starting with research to construct and convey a cohesive visual story.
I enjoy the creative process of bringing an image or space into life, transforming them into stages that tell a story. I find great inspiration in exploring all kinds of Art works, and observing Art both within and above the traditional.
Traveling, too, has been a profound and enriching source of inspiration.
I am passionate about exploring new trends in Interior Design and Decoration, especially textures and color palettes. Along my path, I have become savvy in other areas, earning a degree as Tea Sommelier from UAI and Interior Design from Condé Nast College.
Design, Tea, and Creativity as essential parts of my identity.
