Say howdy to Jessica Olsen, someone who has become a familiar face at our studio as of late. Describing her as an intern wouldn’t really be doing her justice though, so I won’t do that. Instead I’ll say that she asked us to teach her some stuff and in turn she’d help us out on some of our projects. She’s turned in to our go-to girl for helping grease the wheels of PUBLIC SCHOOL. With all of us having our own businesses to manage, she has been the glue holding the studio together over the last couple of months.
Jessica has and will be helping out with the blogging responsibilities as well as the (soon to be) relaunching of our brand spankin’ new School Supplies site. She has a blog of her own called LittleVerses which you should read. There’s plenty of good content, including a couple of things I might rip off (and of course, credit) for this blog when I’m done writing this.
Aside from the blogging and online stuff, she has become our unofficial producer for many of the projects we’re working on together here. She’s been a huge help on the book we’re producing for Chronicle Books, as well as some of the shows and workshops Will has been working on. It’s becoming increasingly common to ask when Jessica is “coming in” because she has helped us tackle a lot. Basically my point is that we started seeing her a little bit and now she’s family. Now that she’s blogging and her presence is known, I’m sure you’ll feel the same way soon as well.
