About Me

My name is Kat Tsai and I’m a Taiwanese-American artist currently based in Los Angeles, working full-time in the animation industry as a Visual Development artist at Paramount Animation on Aang: The Last Airbender. Previous projects include Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Steven Universe Future, and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts. My passion is for color, atmosphere, and capturing a moment in an illustration.
