Flounder Cat All Designs are Hand Drawn by Nina

Nina, also known as Flounder’s mom, is an award-winning artist, animator, and children’s book illustrator whose creative passion shines through every piece of her work. With years of experience bringing whimsical characters to life, Nina has found her greatest inspiration right at home — in the form of her beloved fish, Flounder the Purrmaid. Flounder isn’t just her muse, but also the heart and soul of this collection.

Nina’s favorite subject to paint and draw has always been Flounder, and every design you see begins with real-life moments captured through photography. Flounder has happily “modeled” for countless reference photos, allowing Nina to capture her playful personality and signature expressions with incredible accuracy and charm. From the initial sketch to the finished artwork, each design is lovingly hand-drawn and carefully crafted by Nina herself.

Every product in the Flounder Cat collection represents the bond between artist and muse — a blend of Nina’s artistic skill and Flounder’s irresistible charisma. The result is a one-of-a-kind line of artwork and products that are not only beautiful, but also deeply personal. When you bring home a Flounder Cat design, you’re not just getting a piece of art — you’re getting a little piece of FlounderLand.

Little fish. Big world. Brave heart. Three lines and a small fish facing more ocean than it can see, hand drawn by Nina Leipold. It is the one design we make that is not a joke.

What it is on

Who it is for

First days and last days. Starting a school, starting a job, moving somewhere nobody knows you, going back to something hard. It reads as encouragement without being loud about it, which is why it works as a gift for a nervous eight year old and a nervous thirty year old alike.

Who Flounder is

Flounder is a real cat who talks using communication buttons. Nina draws her by hand, from life. Most of the designs are funny; this one is the exception, and it is the one people write to us about.
