When you think of magnetic alphabet letters– you may have childhood flashbacks of tiny plastic letters that somewhat stick to your fridge. 

Enter today’s guest, Ashley Jankowski, and The Type Set Co. These are not your mom’s 80’s plastic semi-magnetic letters. These are beautiful soft magnetic letters, that actually stay stuck to your fridge or magnet board. In gorgeous colors and beautiful fonts. Aesthetically perfect and SUPER FUN to play with!

After 10 years of owning her own branding, designing products and packaging for others— she took an old concept (magnetic alphabet letters), repackaged it and improved the design. Now this self-proclaimed “word nerd” is shifting an industry with an old idea turned new! 

I’m beyond excited to chat with Ashley Jankowski, founder of The Type Set Co, about the world of R&D, product development, manufacturing and all the good things that come with taking an idea from concept to store shelves.
