"San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the "gateway to the Pacific," is a world-class airport serving tens of millions of domestic and international passengers annually.
One of the world's 30 busiest airports, SFO is committed to setting the standard for our industry. This includes being a leader in safety and security, customer service and satisfaction, community relations, environmental commitment, quality of facilities, and financial and economic vitality. SFO was the first major U.S. airport to achieve 100 percent fully automated and integrated baggage screening. Today, efficient operations ensure our passenger screening wait times are among the shortest in the nation.

Cathi (Cat) Wong is a self-taught artist, with mechanical drafting credentials. Pursuit of a career as a professional artist was initially sidetracked by a lengthy tour of duty in the corporate world, where Cat wore a number of different hats. These included communications training supervisor and network producer (distance learning) for a major California utility. During a restructuring phase, she took the opportunity to set a different course, finally focusing on her bliss -- art.
Soon after exiting the corporate life, Cat became a freelance illustrator/cover designer for an East Coast publishing firm and was simultaneously hired as its West Coast representative, serving as a part-time author advocate. Over a ten-year period, she honed her drawing skills and established a reputation as a talented designer, with a loyal following built on customer referrals nationwide.
A fourth generation Californian residing in San Francisco, Cat currently does occasional freelance design but primarily focuses on creating Clara and Clarence Bear e-book and game apps for both Apple iTunes and the Amazon Appstore. While expanding Clara and Clarence Bear’s world, she is often assisted by two family cats, BJ and Lima (sibling gray tabbies). Their input is always invaluable.
