About Me

Hi! I'm Jenna, the owner of Yat Cat. I design/illustrate every single item that my shop offers! I grew up around entrepreneurs and always knew that I wanted a business of my own, but never quite knew what that would look like. After earning a degree in Film and quickly realizing that wasn't the industry for me, I went back to school for Graphic Design and fell in love with the structured chaos. I really enjoyed experimenting with being creative within a set of guidelines. I then taught myself how to screen-print so I could wear my own designs and Yat Cat was created. I love to play around with different design styles and am constantly trying to learn new techniques and skills, so I hope that translates in my work! 

About Yat Cat 

Yat Cat offers eclectic apparel, accessories, and gifts that draw inspiration from a variety of sources...mainly food, cats and nature. My wish is that everyone who wears a Yat Cat tee feels unique, expressive and relaxed.

Yat Cat Print Co. was started in New Orleans, Louisiana as a creative outlet but started seeing success and engagement at art markets around New Orleans and quickly became a full-time business. When the pandemic hit in 2020, I focused on our social media and online presence and grew a loyal following. I now share a lot of behind-the-scenes videos on Instagram and TikTok (@yatcatnola) that give you a look at what I do all day and how I make your tee shirts! 

When Yat Cat started, I screen-printed every single shirt by hand using water-based ink. Now, six years later, a lot has changed and I outsource a lot of the work to ensure great quality and timely shipping. Don't worry, I still pack every order myself and put a lot of love into your packages! 

Say hi online or at our next pop-up and feel free to ask me any other questions you may have!

<3 Jenna
