Sock it to Mal

Since 2004, friends have been giving me socks as gifts. This is an illustrated record of those socks.

Like I said, I’m Mal Jones, the co-owner of Rocketkoi with Sarah Meskin. We specialize in helping purpose-driven organizations use design to communicate better. If you’re looking to work together, let us know on Rocketkoi.

In the past, I’ve taught Web Design (didn’t do a terrible job) and Professional Services (did a much better job) at the University of Maryland, cleaned tables at a classic pizza place in Ocean City, MD, helped parents understand the best kids programming around, and worked at various consulting agencies.

I go by Mal because no one could spell Malcolm right. I love pie, whisky, and tea, but I work to get my 64oz of water a day.
