JESSE MALEH
Interactive & Graphic Design
Jesse Maleh is a 26 year old graphic designer/dogwalker currently living life in Washington DC, balancing his own business, an amazing relationship, and a fantastic social life that only a diverse city such as DC can offer.
He attended Rochester Institute of Technology on a presidential scholarship, having had lifelong plans to become a cardiologist. 
A year into his Biomedical major, however, he grew restless and bored. It was then that he decided to listen to the inner voice that lived in his hands, a voice which had led him to spend the majority of his academic life doodling art in notebooks. Four years later, he graduated with honors with a B.A. in Graphic Design in 2006, moving to Washington DC in 2007 to pursue a career in advertising or publishing design. Unfortunately, the economic downturn had hit America hard and finding a job became difficult — made much more so by virtue of the fact that his hearing loss trimmed down possible job offers. To earn a living, he began to do freelance contracting online; along the way, he found a stable position as a dog walker and immediately fell in love with it.
Now, a year and half later, he is still actively doing freelance design and has applied his design and advertising skills to the formation of his own dog walking business, One&Two, which launched in the month of September 2009.
