Jessica Hische is a typographer and illustrator working in Brooklyn, New York. She has “Type” tattooed on her left tricep. She is young, vibrant and enormously talented. Her work is stunning and inspirational. After graduating from Tyler School of Art with a degree in Graphic Design, she worked for Headcase Design in Philadelphia before taking a position as Senior Designer at Louise Fili Ltd. While working for Louise, she continued developing her freelance career, working for clients such as Tiffany & Co., Chronicle Books, and The New York Times. In September 2009, after two and a half years of little sleep and a lot of hand lettering, she left Louise Fili to pursue her freelance career further. Jessica has been featured in most major design and illustration publications including Communication Arts, Print Magazine, How Magazine, The Graphis Design Annual, American Illustration and the Society of Illustrators. She was featured as one of Step Magazine’s 25 Emerging Artists, Communication Arts “Fresh”, Print Magazine’s New Visual Artists 2009 (commonly referred to as Print’s 20 under 30), and The Art Directors Club Young Guns.

Jessica spends most of her non-working hours at home watching Battlestar Galactica with her talented better half and their two kitties, or out and about consuming pork-fat rich meals and fancy cocktails.

I envy her website! Hopefully I can make mine look as neat as hers one day. Also, I just started following her on twitter and it's a fun thing. Visit her website here.
