Women in Design
"I strive to create beautiful and legible work with just enough personality and a high level of technical precision."
The daily drop cap was an amazing project where she created a new decorative letter every single day. Each letter was completely unique, showing off her incredible creativity and attention to detail. It served as a way for her to experiment with typography, push her style, and gain some exposure in the design world. The project got a ton of attention online and really put her on the map, showing people just how exciting and fun lettering and type design can be.
Jessica Hische is also really well known for her children’s books. Her unique style mixes playful lettering with illustrations, making the words themselves look like part of the story. Unlike other children’s books, her designs make every page visually exciting and full of personality, so reading feels like an experience, not just words on paper. This creative approach is part of why her books became so popular, and it shows how she brings her lettering and artistic skills together to make stories come alive for kids.
