About Hissy Cat

Hissy Cat, sometimes known as Joanna, lives in San Francisco. She works as a course developer in Palo Alto and as a freelance writer in her messy, smelly, slowly rotting Mission studio. Hire her! A regular glutton for employment, she is available for all your writing needs.

Joanna was born in 1983 and grew up in New York City. She graduated from Riverdale Country School in the Bronx and then Stanford University in California. Joanna lives with Gerty, who has three legs and meows a lot.

About Hissycat.com

Hissycat.com grew out of a personal blog, Yoyodyne, that Hissy Cat (alias "Joanna") maintained during a brief period of her life as she left her job and assorted life functions grind to halt and fall to shit pieces.

Hissycat.com was designed by Joanna and Alex, and built by Joanna using HTML, CSS, and, on the blog portion of Hissycat, Movable Type. Hissycat.com, blog and all, is written and maintained by Joanna. Copywrited under Creative Commons License. If you are having web issues with this site, please send a note to joanna@hissycat.com. This site is very new and, like Joan Rivers' face, subject to frequent adjustments. Excuse the chronic construction.
