USCF EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT CAT CONNOR SPRADLIN Position: Chess Life for Kids Art Director
Glenn Petersen, the editor of Chess Life for Kids, says this about Cat Connor Spradlin who has been that publica- tion’s art director since October 2008: “Working across three time zones (she lives in Bishop, California) while holding down three jobs is not an easy task, but Cat handles it with aplomb. Well, OK, there’s a little bit of whining ... some- thing about needing ‘sleep’ from time to time, but she always makes our deadline and makes the rest of us look good. I knew we had a winner not just because of her old-school training (straight edge, scissors, waxer), but also because she named two of her barnyard pets Elwood and Jake. Anyone who likes The Blues Brothers that much has to be a valuable asset!”
Cat tells us, “I live in the eastern Sierra Nevada with my husband and now 11 critters, dogs, cats, donkeys, goats and some tropical
fish. Photography is my life’s passion and I spend a lot of time photographing this beautiful area. We do a lot of hiking, with the dogs of course. This is also a great area for road biking which we do a lot of and have participated in century rides (100 miles). It’s a great place for me because if I’m not in front of my computer I want to be out enjoying the great outdoors. “I really enjoy working on CL4K, everyone is a pleasure to work with even though I keep them up late into the night and on weekends
because we are in different time zones. Designing a magazine for kids is fun for me, it lets me break away from the ‘norm’ of graphic design and go a little out of the box so to speak. My father taught me to play chess as a small child and I have always loved playing so I’m glad to be a part of the USCF family.”
