MEET THE FOUNDERS
MEET KRISTINA HUGHES
Kristina Hughes, co-founder of Frame Your Feline, pioneers an innovative cat shelf that transforms felines into living masterpieces. This unique vertical space not only fulfills the essential needs of cats but also adds a touch of beautiful aesthetics to home décor.
With a lifelong connection to cats, Kristina has become the trusted "go-to" person among her friends and neighbors for valuable advice and tips on feline care. Beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits, she actively contributes to animal welfare by assisting in the rehoming of soon-to-be-abandoned animals. Kristina is also involved in the rescue efforts, pulling and transporting dogs and cats from two high-kill shelters in the Antelope Valley.
In addition to her commitment to animal welfare, Kristina wears multiple hats. She's not only a stand-up comedian, affectionately dubbed the "Modern Day Mrs. Maisel," but also a co-owner of two Entertainment Industry-related businesses, Holdon Log and PerformerTrack. Additionally, she co-heads the production/design house, OneBite Creative, and proudly holds the title of a former Miss Connecticut USA. Currently residing in Los Angeles County with fellow board member Brian Vermeire, their son Jackson, and an impressive count of 8 wonderful rescue cats, Kristina's life is a harmonious blend of creativity, compassion, and joy.
Kristina's favorite animal rescues are: The Lange Foundation, The Cat's Meow Animal Rescue, Feline Underground Network, and Community Efforts Animal Rescue.
Kristina has graciously accepted the position of Board Member at Mission Meow (www.MissionMeow.org). This organization brings together a consortium of businesses (including Frame Your Feline) that collectively make quarterly donations. These contributions are pooled, and a deserving USA-based feline-centric non-profit is chosen quarterly to receive a grant.
MEET BRIAN VERMEIRE
Brian Vermeire's journey into the whimsical world of feline companionship began without a single purr. Growing up with a loyal dog, cats were a mystery until he crossed paths with Kristina Hughes. Fast forward to today, and he not only cohabitates with Kristina and their son Jackson, but also plays butler to 8 rescue cats. Together, Brian and Kristina co-founded Frame Your Feline, a unique cat shelf that transforms felines into living works of art.
Brian is more than just a cat enthusiast; he is a dynamic entrepreneur involved in various ventures. Alongside Kristina, he co-owns two Entertainment Industry-related businesses, Holdon Log and PerformerTrack. Adding a stroke of creativity to their canvas, Brian helms OneBite Creative, a web/graphic/video design venture bringing imaginative concepts to vibrant life.
When not herding his 8 cats or exercising his entrepreneurial spirit, Brian enjoys getting behind a microphone making crowds laugh as a headlining stand-up comedian. Welcome to 'The Life of Brian'... where cats, creativity, and comedy collide! 🎙️😺
In a generous stride, Brian Vermeire has embraced the role of Board Member at Mission Meow (www.MissionMeow.org). This visionary organization orchestrates a collaboration among various businesses, Frame Your Feline included, to collectively contribute quarterly donations. These contributions harmonize into a pool, and every quarter, Mission Meow carefully selects a deserving USA-based feline-centric non-profit to be the recipient of a valuable grant. Brian's commitment to the cause adds a purr-fect touch to the mission of supporting and uplifting organizations dedicated to feline welfare.
