Jon’s determination, diligence, and talent are undeniable—just look at his prolific body of work. As a born and raised New Yorker, he comes from a long line of artists and credits his family for encouraging him to explore his creative side beginning at a young age. Although it seems that Jon was destined to work in a creative industry, he admits it wasn’t always an easy path to pursue, but he persisted on. We think you’ll find a resonating hope in Jon’s story—a hope which comes from knowing that we all struggle to find our voice at times, but it is there within us, waiting to be found as long as we’re willing to keep digging. —Tina

Jessica’s work speaks for itself and there’s no doubt—she’s one talented lady. The path that led her into design started when she was young and since then, it’s been her mission to find a way to always do what she loves. The multi-talented designer gave us the scoop on her first experiences with design, the tough career decisions she’s faced along the way, her newest role as partner at Sagmeister & Walsh, and why she believes it’s important to have fun. Thanks for talking with us, Jessica. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! —Tina

We were completely stoked to talk with Aaron, a fellow native of Michigan. After speaking with him, we can assuredly say that he’s one of the most sincere, humble, hard working, and grateful guys we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Sure, he’s kind of a badass and we like that about him, but he’s a pretty big softie too, which we also really like—sorry to let the cat out of the bag, Aaron! We hope that his story—with all of its twists and turns, ups and downs, and straight, hard truths—will encourage you to ask the tough questions, blaze your own trail, and make the things you love. —Tina
