Lead artist at catstudio

As lead artist I designed over a hundred top selling designs for Catstudio. I created hand-drawn whimsical maps of cities and universities for all the US states. These designs were used on various products: as colorful embroidered pillows, printed onto drinking glasses and thermal drinking tumblers. These products were sold across the country, in gift stores and online sources. My importance to the company grew in the 9 years I was employed. I was called upon to refine and complete designs created by their group of contract artists. I would usually have 2 or 3 assignments going at one time, and completed each according to their importance. I kept a home office and attended weekly staff meetings at company headquarters in Petaluma, California.
