Jessica Hische

This week's guest is Oakland-based designer, lettering artist and NYT best-selling author, Jessica Hische. If you're a child of the internet, you're probably already familiar with Jessica's work. She kicked off her career working at Headcase Design and later as a senior designer working under the great Louise Fili. In 2009, Jessica stepped out on her own as a freelancer. You might remember her Daily Drop Cap project—or more recently, you've likely seen her tidying up some of your favourite wordmarks. In this episode, we look back at Jessica's early days as a creative, the process of reclaiming artist as a title, and about her transition into children's books and shop ownership.
