Katana Sol

Social Media, Communications, and visual artist

Katana is a Seattle-born award-winning multidisciplinary Artist, Cypher,  and Designer. She lived in all corners of the city her whole life with a passion for storytelling. She benefits from thinking a lot, and sometimes too much at once. She is influenced by Afrofuturism, the concept of Self-Actualization, and Indigenous Presentism to create visual pieces allowing a tie and connection between individuals and ancestors who came before, human cosmic and beyond. Her Design practice comes from the art of observation and slowing down to address key principles and aesthetics.

Katana works as Rhapsody’s visual artist and Social Media, Marketing, and Design manager. 

After living in Bellingham and attending Western Washington University for 6 years, she became the first Black Female graduate in history of Engineering and Sciences Industrial Design program with a minor in UX, and the first Black Female Visual Artist on display at Western Washington University. With experience as a textile apprentice, she facilitated and directed multiple workshops in collaboration with Wa Na Wari and Seattle Art Museum.
