About

Cathy Fisher is an almost completely functional 23-year-old human being. She was raised in a house made out of old computers in the suburbs of Detroit. She likes movies, TV, comedy, writing, tidying, dogs, the internet, absurdism, cooking, gadgets, dissonance, daydreaming, warm weather, and quirky music. She's passionate about feminism, social justice, elegant design, and well-constructed jokes.

She graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Screen Arts & Cultures, specializing in writing (especially for TV), editing, and film history. She can talk endlessly about Wes Anderson, Brazil, Twin Peaks, 30 Rock, and Tim & Eric. She's recently boomeranged back to the old U of M where she's pursuing the title of MASTER OF INFORMATION (or, more specifically, a graduate degree in Human-Computer Interaction).

She spent two years as the editor-in-chief of U-M's ever-struggling humor magazine, The Gargoyle, after working as a staffer for one year and as art director for another. Most of this time was spent picking up Legos and sending emails, but occasionally she also did some writing and drawing and assembled a magazine. During the summer of 2009 she interned at Condé Nast Digital, search engine optimizing, metadata editing, spreadsheeting, and iPhone app testing, mostly for Epicurious, Concierge, and Brides.com.
