What to expect:

Hear from Jon + Shelby, co-founders of Foxsy and Chelsie Tamms, founder of Lettering Works, on the perks and pitfalls of being very online for business vs. being less online.

About the Speakers

Jon & Shelby Abrahamsen are the founders of Foxsy, an educational platform that connects online creators and artists. They support these creators by offering fair pay to develop course materials to share with students across a variety of mediums.

Chelsie Tamms is an artist, educator, and entrepreneur. She founded Lettering Works in 2016, combining her love of hand-lettering with her expertise in marketing. Since then, she’s grown her business to offer custom branding packages, courses for artists, and wholesale products and merchandise—all with the mission to bring more creativity into her community and beyond. She is especially drawn to cause-driven projects surrounding mental health, chronic illness, and underrepresented communities.
