ART DIRECTOR AT @DAVID SÃO PAULO
CAT LEONART ®
HI@CATLEONART.COM
Hi I'm Cat,
I started in the creative industry with Motion Design. I'm passionate about animation and use that passion to explore various forms of expression, always focusing on diversity.
Stories like The Last of Us, where I saw a lesbian protagonist in a game for the first time, inspired me to be authentic through creativity and art direction. After a year as an art director in the gaming industry, I'm back in advertising, now at David São Paulo.
Oh, and if you ever see someone who looks just like me in a museum, don’t be alarmed. It’s not a doppelgänger; it’s my twin sister, who works in visual arts. (And seriously, don't look up what a doppelgänger is).
