I live in Japan, so I’m somewhat stuck in a bubble at times, but when I do get to find new things or new work it gets me really excited. Unfortunately a lot of my coworkers don’t share this passion with me and talking about design or new things on the internet or even just the Grammy’s is a one sided affair.
So today I thought I would introduce some of my current favourite Graphic Design people. I didn’t purposely choose only females! I just realized that most of my favourite designers are females.
So lets start! Also these are not in any order!
Kate Moross

A Jack of All trades, I love the bright and colourful work of Kate Moross. I’ve been watching a lot of her talks and some of the things she has shared personally helped me in times of “Where is my career going?!?!” and “I do so many things how do I get good at just one!!!”. Her attitude towards her work made me more comfortable in the choices that I was making in my career. It is perfectly ok to be a jack of all trades, and you don’t have to specialize in one thing. I personally love the Music videos she creates as well.
Design dream goals!
In Love with the hand drawn typography.
Jessica Walsh

I think there are a lot of people in the world that love Jessica Walsh’s work. It’s simple, yet bold and very eye catching. I love hearing about her career and how she joined and made Sagmeister & Walsh. She’s an inspiration and I have been watching her career since she was dubbed “One to watch”. I particularly love how instead of working for Mr Sagmeister, she ended up heading the studio with him. The one thing she taught me, which I have yet to put into practice is to have some balls and don’t be scared to reach out to your hero’s. I think when I get back to the UK I will be reaching out to some of my Graphic design hero’s. I also love the way she uses models in her work. This bodypainting is amazing and very very bold.
I love these inspirational pieces.
Jessica Hische

Jessica Hische has a passion for typography that she practically lives for. I love her enthusiasm. I love the way she talks in her inspirational talks at other graphic design events, and I love the soft but strong lines that she uses in her lettering. I love to try and work out how she does her work. Its elegant but with a playful edge. I wish I could be a letterer some days. Maybe next time I will try out my own lettering. Her work is very inspirational.
All of the work above is the property of the respective designers and you can find more information on them on their pages. Please have a look and see what you think. Everyone has to have their Design Dreams now don’t they.
