Jessica is a lettering artist, illustrator, author, and self-described “avid internetter” working in San Francisco and Brooklyn. After graduating with a degree in Graphic and Interactive Design from Tyler School of Art (Temple University) in 2006, she worked for Headcase Design in Philadelphia before taking a position as Senior Designer at Louise Fili Ltd. In 2009, after two and a half years, Jessica left to further her freelance career and embark on several fun personal projects. Jessica began Daily Drop Cap, a project in which every day she created a new illustrative letter, working through the alphabet a total of twelve times. The popularity of Daily Drop Cap really kickstarted her career as a letterer, and has inspired many other designers to start daily lettering projects. Daily Drop Cap concluded in 2011, but you can find the letters in all sorts of places, from postcard sets to iPhone cases.

Jessica has become as well known for her side projects as she has for her client work. While she doesn’t consider herself a web designer, many of her personal projects are web-centric. She’s created several educational micro-sites including Mom This Is How Twitter Works, Should I Work For Free? and Don't Fear The Internet (a collaborative project with Russ Maschmeyer). She coined the term “procrastiworking” to describe her tendency to procrastinate on client work by working on personal projects.

Jessica is actively involved in the design, illustration, and type communities (serving on the Type Directors Club board from 2012 to 2015) and is a prolific public speaker, appearing at colleges and conferences worldwide. She and her studio mate Erik Marinovich also host lettering workshops and events (though infrequently) at their San Francisco studio Title Case.

Jessica’s clients includes Wes Anderson, The United States Postal Service, Tiffany & Co., The New York Times, Penguin Books, Target, Starbucks, American Express, and Wired Magazine. She has also released several commercial typefaces which are available in her store. Jessica has been named a Print Magazine New Visual Artist (20 under 30), one of Forbes 30 under 30 in Art and Design, an ADC Young Gun, and a “Person to Watch” by GD USA. She’s been personally profiled in many magazines including Eye Magazine (UK), Communication Arts, Grafik Magazine (UK), and Novum Magazine (Germany). Her first book, In Progress, is available through Chronicle Books.

Rebecca is a designer and founder of Wise Ones, an audio start-up that launched its first podcast, Advice From Mom, in late 2016. She was the first employee and designer behind the education platform, MasterClass. She helped the founders grow the company to 30 people and launch 6 classes before setting off to start her own company and help other start-ups.

Prior to taking the start-up plunge, she spent three years at YouTube, where she led a project to establish YouTube's first visual language in its (then) 7-year history. She started her career as a consultant at Cooper and Mule Design, designing interfaces for everything from medical devices to political publications as well as the design handbook that hopefully you have on your shelf, About Face 3.

In her other life, RGB sings in rock bands (My First Earthquake, Happy Fangs) and recently wrote & performed a rock opera wedding with her husband (Love, Jerks). She's a proud Pittsburgher and graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, School of Design with a minor in creative writing.

Shane has over 20 years of experience in agencies and in-house. After working for traditional ad agencies in SF, New York and Chicago, he moved in-house in 2005. A self-professed, one-time “agency-snob,” he learned to appreciate the in-house model during a freelance gig at Apple. After that, he joined Old Navy where he spent several years.

Three years ago, Shane came to Clorox as their first digital creative director. He was hired to build their in-house digital team and to help manage Clorox’s agencies. With a focus on quality creative work, Shane has grown the group from 5 to about 20 visual designers, copywriters and UX/UI designers. Today his team works on the entire portfolio of brands and creates all types of digital work including websites, photography, video content, emails, advertising, social media, apps and more.

Prior to that, she was visual designer for several Fortune 500 companies and non-profits. And her first job was with a very tough boss who created the graphic standards for the University of Illinois at Chicago—she had been a fierce protector of corporate brand standards every since!
