Today marks my second full year working as a designer at Threadless. I’ve loved every minute of it. I’ve been able to work on really amazing projects that millions of people see. I’ve been able to work with people that kick my ass in so many respects. It’s an honor, a thrill and totally rad.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of my skinnyCorpin’ co-workers, who are all hilarious, inspirational and well, a fuck-ton of awesome. A special thanks to Tom and Jake, who constantly encourage all of us to make great things happen. And to Sean, who was crazy enough to hire me on board to piece together one of Chicago’s absolute best creative teams.

And now, Some Lessons Learned Working at Threadless.

Slam donk.

Whoa. Something on Dribbble for Monday.

Something is happening back here at the Threadless HQ. Shot-clock is running down…

Homepage, typekit, baseline grids, oh my.

Whoa! Today, I'll be playing in the main match of Layer Tennis against everyone's favorite Brooklyn letterer and typographer, Jessica Hische.

Come root for Threadless + Chicago at 1:00 PM CT today!

Congrats to the 14 lucky (or unlucky?) designers and artists competing in this Saturday's tournament during the 4th Annual Family Reunion.

It's time for them to strategize, coordinate costumes and get their thinkin' brains going. It's about to be a Photoshop bloodbath.

Details to follow!

Alrighty, all you designers coming to the 4th Annual Family Reunion. You've read the hype, now it's time to sign up. For a chance* to participate in this year's 2nd Annual Doodle & Dominate Competition, send me an email. 12 lucky (or unlucky) designers will be selected and paired into two teams of six to compete on the day of the meetup.

The rules will unfold as the day gets closer. Until then, sharpen your pencils and put on yer thinkin' caps, it's time to (design) battle.

Giddy up, looking forward to all you applicants!

* In the event that more than 12 people apply to compete, the 12 designers will be selected by random.

Calling all designers and artists attending this year's big and awesome 4th Annual Threadless Family Reunion: keep this on your brain. We're bringing last year's festivities back.



Over and out,
your host with the most.
