i admire this woman, her work and how clearly she communicates through it. unfortunately i havent been able to find her webpage for quite a while no. it would be really helpfull if you share this info with me, in case you have it. perhaps a new webpage?
her website has been down for a while, which bums me out. i love her work and her typographic exploration. the last time i checked, she was still teaching part time at CCA in San Francisco.
Well it’s a relief to know that I’m not being Google-blind – I looked for ages. Presumably she doesn’t work on anything outside of her academic commitments any more – any business would have online contact details, especially one based in communication. Terrible shame if that’s the case though, she’s a talented lady.
I’m glad I found this forum. i too wondered what happened – I feared the worst. For a long while it seemed as though someone confiscated her website.
She could have at least let her fans know that she was off to teach – i hope it’s as simple as that.
If anyone knows anymore – please post the info. She really is fabulous (and quite beautiful) judging by the photo.
has anyone heard anything more about her book, either? i waited for so long and then never heard anything. has it ever been published? we need answers 🙂
The book was cancelled before publication. It got as far as having an ISBN assigned to it, and even a (very stylish) cover design. You’ll find it listed on Amazon, but you won’t be able to get one.
hey guys, just to give you a little update, I am a student at Bowling Green state university and last spring i went to an aiga sponsored student portfolio day where jennifer sterling was the guest speaker and reviewer. she told us all that she has been working on a new site but she doesnt know when it will be up and i also was able to have her review my portfolio. she is an absolutely amazing designer, i wish we could find more info on her. here is her book from ginko press but like the last poster said it wasnt put to print i guess? http://www.gingkopress.com/_cata/_grap/sterlin1.htm
The design industry often demands too much of acclaimed designers. Jennifer, I hope you are enjoying the fruits of your labor but more importantly enjoying life.

It’s 2007. I was trying to show my daughter some work of my favorite designer. Does any one know what is going on with her? It looks like she has been abducted by aliens! No web site, no book. Can’t find any info at all! How is that possible – everyone has a web site these days. Hey Jennifer where are you?! We want to see more of your stunning work!
Everything is definitely okay with Jennifer Sterling. Fansisca is correct. She is teaching thesis at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I will let her know about this site as it seems she is dearly missed.
Signed her son, Jonathan
Yes – One of my favorite and most inspirational designers ever. I wish her website would have stayed up at least.
Sadly, I am one of those who had pre-ordered the book….

Any clues as to what happened. I love her work too and then she disappeared from the web.
