jim hiss

principal

Jim is one of the founding partners of EDGE and an emeritus faculty at The Ohio State University … which makes him the oldest EDGER. With nearly most of his time devoted to design, you can usually find him standing at his drafting table cluttered with colored pencils, tracing paper and probably several half-filled cups of coffee.

While Jim enjoys all phases of design, he is most attracted to the “design development”… just what does it really look like? E-mailing sums up his computer skills.
