About Jaycat Designs

I've been a maker my whole life and started Jaycat Designs in 2014 as a way to get the most out of my creative outlet. In spite of the name, Jaycat Designs didn't begin as a cat-themed shop, but due to my cat-lady nature it just naturally progressed there! My own cats provide me with endless inspiration and design ideas. I use a variety of tools and materials to make my items but two favorite things to work with are my laser cutter and black acrylic-- the perfect mix to make an army of tiny black cats! I've recently gotten into illustrating and printing and am slowly adding more color to my shop!Read their story
