ABOUT
"Who are you?"
"To define is to limit."
-Oscar Wilde
​
Hello! My name is Kaja Kajfež. I'm a freelance illustrator, and visual storyteller probably better known as iz.ptica in the realms of the internet.
My artistic passion led me to get a degree in the field by finishing 'Multimedia, Design and Application' study at University North in Varazdin, Croatia.
​
In 2017 I established my own little studio that mainly focuses on children's book illustration, lettering, surface pattern design, and design of visual content. As a freelance illustrator, I have had the opportunity to collaborate on various projects in a number of different fields with both small and independent as well as medium to large companies.
Besides my work, I love to take long walks in nature, explore different historical periods, scroll through old books, listen to online concerts, spend time with my dog, and relax with a huge cup of tea.
If you have a project in mind I'd be more than happy to hear from you so feel free to contact me.
