Cathy has also done calligraphy work for two restaurant menus in the Kankakee County area. For a short time, she taught calligraphy classes at Kankakee Communtiy College as part of KCC's Adult Education program. She is currently the office manager for The Streator Voice office in Streator, IL

On top of being CEO of Ink & Feathers Comics, she also serves as creative consultant for the authors/ illustrators of this company. Her latest endeavor has been consulting Myke Feinman on his new novel, The Teddy Bear Conspiracies. Every idea must go through her before it goes to print.

Cathy designed and created the Ink & Feathers logo in response to distributors disbelieving Ink & Feathers was truly a publishing company. Legends say that after she created the logo and sent an official letter with it as its letterhead, distributors stopped complaining and accepted Ink & Feathers publications. Many of the staff are not too sure whether it was the logo that stopped them from complaining or the words that accompanied the letter.

Cathy is a big fan of mystery stories as well as historical literature whether it be fiction or non-fiction. She is fond of Sherlock Holmes and has a rather unique analytical mind. If you give her a puzzle to solve, she will complete it within a matter minutes. Perhaps she is in the wrong business and should work with police on helping solving their cases? However, Ink & Feathers would be lost without her support and business savvy ways.

Cathy (formerly Cathy Cruz) has put together a website of her family. Visit Brijido's Orchard Online to see if you are related.
