Meet Pemba, the Distil Union Mascot

What's that purring sound coming from the printer?

It's Pemba, our silky 6-pound mascot here at Distil.

Named for Pemba Gyalje Sherpa since she summited our shoulders as a kitten, Pem is the perky feline voice always motivating the team to be the best we can be – with insightful encouragement such as try again, but with more gray. 

Here are five fun facts about our dainty art director:  

1. In 2014 she passed her South Carolina driver's test with flying colors. She is purrfectly happy with her driver's license photo, thank you very much. We agree, Pemba.
 

2. Pemba may be gassy, but she has impeccable taste in materials and assists as needed in making selections. Good eye, Pemba.

3. She's our go-to paw model for compelling videos like this shake-test to demonstrate the security patent-pending MagLock wallets. Nice work, Pemba.

4. While she most certainly would rather be napping, when asked bribed with shrimp treats, she'll lend a paw with prototyping, 3D printing, and has been known to DJ. As such, Pemba is a member of the elite group of cats honored by AppleWorld.Today. Congrats, Pemba.

5. No photoshoot is complete without Pemba serving fierce, feline realness. Blue Steel? Everyone knows steel is gray. You've been served. Fabulous, Pemba.

Pemba shares intern duties with her brother Louie who is also gray, twice Pemba's size, and is definitely hiding right now. #WorstInternEver
