Jeffrey is your average 29-year-old tattooed metal-head with an eye for design and nose for tomfoolery. Most of any time not spent with his wife and small family of cats (named Murder, Mick Mars and Alabama) is spent as partner and chief creative officer of the Chicago-based, community-business-centric skinnyCorp.
The focus of his work is design and strategy for skinnyCorp’s numerous community-based web projects. These projects range in scale from Threadless, a multi-million dollar tee shirt business and ongoing open-call for tee shirt design submissions which sells more than 90,000 tees per month and has over 700,000 registered users, to YayHooray, a just-for-fun design and technology community site with only a few thousand members.
His work has been published numerous times, and he’s had the pleasure of speaking for students and peers all over the world from MIT to the University of Copenhagen to CNN to NPR. You can check out his work for skinnyCorp or his personal site at callmejeffrey.com
