KATENA is a creative design studio which combines different disciplines under the leadership of Lena Dirscherl.

Therefore KATENA can offer a wide set of skills like illustration, character design, comics, animation, infografics, icon design, pattern design and handlettering.

We love geometric shapes, modern art and geeky pop-culture!

KATENA is against racism of any form and supports gender equality and net neutrality. We are very interested in working with clients who share the same values and want to make the world a better place.
