Video: Jessica Hische – Crafting the Life You Want
Jessica Hische has been on our stage in 2014 for the first time. After ten years she has been back to rock our Berlin show. Many things happened and that, amongst other things, has been part of her talk in which she explained what is needed to craft a life in which family, passion, hobbies and business walk hand in hand.
Crafting the Life You Want
Jessica Hische is a lettering artist and “avid internetter” who has been in a position of prominence in the design industry for nearly two decades. During that time, so much has changed. Finding your place in this world as an artist and maker has become more complex. Technologies are ever evolving. Platforms and what they ask of us are constantly shifting. The internet offered us an incredible opportunity for connection but it feels harder and harder to find your people, especially because it’s not always clear who is showing up as their authentic selves and who is “building a brand”.
In this talk, Jessica will walk through ways she’s navigated all of these changes while trying to stay true to herself – from client work & kids books, to opening two brick and mortar stores. She’ll talk about promoting your work without commodifying every part of yourself, the power of embracing local community, and how to align new technologies with your values to live the creative life you want.
