Jessica is a lettering artist, entrepreneur, designer, speaker and author who’s worked with clients like Penguin Books and Wes Anderson and recently published a book called “In Progress” which is an incredibly detailed look at her process from sketch to final deliverables - definitely a must-read for any of you lettering fanatics out there. She’s also got this amazing library of side projects like Daily Drop Cap (exactly what it sounds like), a site called Don’t Fear The Internet which teaches HTML and CSS to designers, ShouldIWorkForFree.com - a flow chart which answers that exact question - and literally 10 more. Insanely prolific.
Today on the podcast,
* Some rarely-discussed characteristics and strengths of creatives
* Why constraints are a creative’s best friend.
*The habits that make her as ultra-productive as she is - my favorite is her concept of “admin Mondays”
Enjoy!
