Jim Hiscott
Jim Hiscott (CFA’75) of Washington, D.C., retired from the National Geographic Society in December 2015, after working for eight years as art director in the National Geographic Kids division. He writes, “I will continue to freelance for National Geographic Kids while refocusing my creative attention on my personal projects, which took a backseat to my pursuit of a career in graphic design in Pittsburgh, Atlantic City, and Washington, D.C. After having a piece accepted for CFA’s 60th anniversary alumni show in October 2014, coming to Boston to see the show, and meeting with the wonderful [CFA dean ad interim] Lynne Allen, a creative spark was reignited to pursue work that is not linked to any one client, but to my own imagination. To new creative adventures.”
