Creative Characters S5 E6: Women of Type: Crafting Community with Jess Goldsmith.
Jess Goldsmith.
On Creative Characters, we meet creative people working at the intersection of type and everyday life. You can listen below, or on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and wherever quality podcasts are available.
Hold onto your sketchpads! This week, Livia Halltari sits down with Jess Goldsmith, the one-woman-show behind Women of Type. Jess talks about her creative journey — from doodling graffiti-inspired letters as a kid to building a global community that amplifies lettering work from women and non-binary creatives around the world. As a self-taught designer, lettering artist, and author, Jess also shares her advice for aspiring creatives.
Check out Jess’s work on Instagram at @chickofalltrade, and see what Women of Type is up to at @womenoftype.
