Jake and Jacob here. We wanted to write you a little note about our beloved skinnyCorp. Well, we started back in late 2000 after we met through a design forum. We both entered into a tee shirt design competition and Jake actually won it! After that we came up with the idea for Threadless and formed skinnyCorp to make it happen.

This all started out as a hobby. We love coming up with ideas that turn into awesome communities that people can enjoy and benefit from using.

We tried doing web development client work for a while but after the success of our own projects, we decided to just keep coming up with neat ideas of our own and focusing our attention on them.

We hope you have fun checking out our projects. Don't forget to check out "The Team" section, we've got a lot of cool, interesting people working with us that deserve your attention.

About skaw

I was born back in August of 1980. Growing up my Dad was in the army so we moved around quite a bit. We finally settled in the midwest, Chicago area. I went to school for a bit for web development then left to run my own business, skinnyCorp. I'm married to my lovely wife, Shondi, and we have a little boy dog together named Norman. I spend all day making fun stuff on the web. Some of it's just for fun, some of it's fun and also makes me rich (in spirit). They are mostly community based websites such as Threadless.com, 15MegsOfFame.com and more...
