Jessica Swift is an artist and pattern designer who believes that our childhood dreams and obsessions are the key to knowing the work we are supposed to do as adults. She remembers creating posters as a small girl, filling large bubble letters with vibrant, hand-drawn patterns and decorating every surface she could get her hands on. Twenty some years later, Jessica’s childhood fascination with color and pattern continues, and she works as a full-time artist and surface pattern designer. She grew up in Boulder, Colorado, earned a BFA from Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY, and currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and 2 adorable cats. Her work can be seen on her website and in her etsy shop.

Pierre François Frédéricis a Frenchman who used The Declaration of You (or, as he calls it, Zee Declaration of You) to discover his love of party hats, using animals for transportation, and brightly-colored attire. He has always been a wonderful lover and Judge Judy fan, and is making all the girls crazy by serenading them with his singing voice and on the Twitter machine. You can also find him on the Facebook, eating many desserts at T.G.I. Friday’s, and riding Jean-Luc Zee Pony.
