Tiny Lion was founded by Caroline Foley, a Los Angeles based artist/writer/animator known for her contributions to Rick and Morty, Bojack Horseman, Toca Life Stories, Robot Chicken, Blippi Wonders, and is the co-creator of Toasty Tales. The influence of her animation career can be seen in her whimsical ceramic pieces which are heavily inspired by her love of all animals, especially cats.
