About Us

Entrance of JH&F showcasing a welcoming storefront.

When Jessica Hische decided to put down roots at 314 15th Street in Oakland, she didn't open a generic gift shop. She opened a place that feels like stepping into the mind of a world-class lettering artist and illustrator. Every object on the shelf was chosen with the same deliberate care she brings to her type work, so browsing here feels less like shopping and more like a slow, satisfying scroll through a portfolio you can actually touch.

The shop carries a curated mix of stationery, home decor, and lifestyle goods sourced from a community of independent makers and beloved brands that share Jessica's visual sensibility. Customers who drove across the Bay or flew in from the East Coast just to visit describe the experience the same way: warm, personal, and genuinely exciting. That's not an accident. Jessica and her team take time with every visitor, talking through the story behind each product and helping you find the thing you didn't know you needed.

With a perfect 5.0 rating across all reviews, JH&F has become a destination rather than a detour. Whether you're a longtime fan of Jessica's illustration work or simply someone who appreciates beautifully made objects, this shop rewards the visit.

What We Offer

The shelves at JH&F are stocked with goods that span the desk and the living room. On the stationery side, you'll find notebooks, cards, prints, and paper goods that range from playful to polished, many featuring lettering and illustration work that's impossible to find anywhere else. It's the kind of selection that makes you want to write letters again.

Beyond paper, the shop carries home decor and lifestyle objects curated to the same exacting standard. Think ceramics, enamel pins, totes, candles, and small-batch goods from independent makers across the country. Jessica also stocks her own merchandise and prints, giving fans a rare chance to own original artwork in an accessible format.

The in-store experience is part of the offering. Staff take time to explain the provenance of products and help you build a thoughtful gift or treat yourself without regret. Online shopping is available through the jessicahische.shop storefront for those who can't make it to Oakland in person.

"I've been following Jessica Hische's work and career for a while now, and I was super excited to see that she opened up a shop. At the time, I was pretty sad, because I lived on the east coast. Little did I know, I'd find myself in the area after all. This shop is a nice little oasis for designers who just love nicely designed little every day objects. Hische stocks this place with all kinds of delightful things. I think the best part is that there are things at all price points. It's not just some snobby place, where nothing costs less than $100. There are solid quality and affordable pens, as well as some specialty items that are on the more expensive side. There is even original designs/works of art from Hische herself. Definitely a fun spot to check out if you're in the area. Highly recommend!"
