Kate Moross is an illustrator, art director, director and designer. They’re an incredible multitasker, who works on music videos, textiles, murals, fashion magazines (and a bunch more), and also runs studio Moross. They knows how to make an impact in the world because they’re not afraid to stand up for what they believes is right. Kate’s amazing work has led them to be highly sought after for collaborative pieces, but they still leave enough time to have their own solo shows, thus proving that they are actually magic.
