Config 2024: Lost Found in the details (Jessica Hische, Lettering Artist, Jessica Hische Inc.)
Jessica Hische is a lettering artist specializing in work for logos, film and television, and books
for clients like Fender Guitars, Wes Anderson, and Penguin Random House.
One specialty she's particularly fond of is logo refresh work-helping modernize existing brands
while maintaining much of the original DNA. Jessica will walk through her process for this highly
specialized work, and talk about why sometimes fretting over invisible details can really matter
and how this kind of work can not only be rewarding for clients in quantifiable ways but also
deeply rewarding for the creatives who perform it. In a culture in which we are asked to constantly
streamline and automate, there is still room for slow and considered craftsmanship.
Featuring: Jessica Hische, Lettering Artist, Jessica Hische Inc.

As a long time Fender and Squier guitar owner, I absolutely LOVE her logos for them. Rarely is a new logo better than the original and Jessica did just that!

Jessica's talk feels like healing: how to stay human, how to love being a designer, how to have fun in these trying times. Thank you!

I was disappointed with a lot of Config this year but, as always, you are such a breath of fresh air. How you speak about your work and relate it back to the audience is so easy to follow. You are always so concise and intentional with your time and words while still keeping your personality intact. These were actionable insights delivered in a relatable way that will stick with me. Loved this so much.
