Design a T-Shirt, Get $2500: An Interview with Jeffrey Kalmikoff of Threadless

We need to hear from you.
Today during our spring member drive, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. The local news you read here every day is crafted for you, but right now, we need your help to keep it going. In these uncertain times, your support is even more important. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership. Thank you.

Jeffrey Kalmikoff is a partner and the Chief Creative Officer at Threadless/skinnyCorp, the Chicago based site that let's everyone submit t-shirt designs--if you're chosen, you get $2,500. Over at the Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco last week, we met up with Kalmikoff who gave us the low down on his company, building customer trust and his views on communities motivated by passion instead of profits. You can find him on Twitter at @jeffrey
