Katia Grifols

Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, Katia always hated raw tomatoes and cucumbers, and devoted her childhood to Agatha Christie, Akira Toriyama, Enid Blyton, and Tintin (among others). She began her career as a comic book artist in Barcelona, jumping around the world to follow her passion for storytelling. After a brief stay in Japan, she landed in California where she finished her formal education in Illustration for Entertainment Arts at the Art Center College of Design. But it was her experience with major studios in LA that opened her eyes to the realities of the entertainment business and, mixed with her undeniable desire to create original content, inspired Katia to level up and create Glow in the Dark. Katia is now the Mastermind of the studio, where she takes a major role in the creation of the properties we develop in-house. She enjoys art direction, colors and research, brainstorming, strong coffee and random Japanese kawaiis... but really, what she loves the most is encountering amazing storytellers and newfound creators! And to this day... she still hates raw tomatoes and cucumbers.
