Throwback to Jess’s first visit to South Florida in October 2014! Oh how far we’ve come!
New Year, big changes!
Did January fly by or what? Aside from being glued to the news, we have been moving in new donated furniture, organizing the shop, hiring new staff, updating websites, planning for future events, proposing new projects, all while continuing to print new works for artists, wedding stationery, and bind custom books.
This month we ask that you join us in wishing luck and a fond farewell to Jessica Condon who has been managing Nocturnal Press for almost 5 years! Jess will be pursuing a new degree and exploring a whole new career path. We will miss her dearly but we could not be more excited for all that lies ahead for her!
Jess has been instrumental in building up Nocturnal Press to where it is today. She has worked diligently with all kinds of clients to make sure their needs were met and their stationery makes the right impression. She directed the Nocturnal Press website update (if you haven’t seen it check it out), designed our amazing semi-custom wedding suites, kept the presses running, greeted folks with a friendly face at Artwalk, set up the FATVillage website, ran The Goods market for years, taught bookbinding classes at IS Projects and Oolite Arts, and established high quality standards that we will strive to live up to! We could go on and on about Jess’s accomplishments but if you’ve met her you probably already know how great she is!
Jess, you’ll always have a place at ISP/NP and be an integral part of this evolving story. We love you and wish you all the best!
