Hi there!

My name's Cat

​

Storytelling has always been a central part of my life—from writing to drawing to music making and more.  To me, one of the most import aspects of a good story are the characters.  I fell in love with bringing characters to life through animatronics and puppetry when I was 13 and I've been making a menagerie of characters ever since!
