JJ Schmidt

JJ Schmidt tells stories. Sometimes to his kids, sometimes to his coworkers, occassionally to his cat... and now—finally—to the world. Inspired by The Little Prince (and a lifetime of daydreaming), JJ’s debut is an illustrative short story that proves imagination isn’t just for kids, and whimsy never goes out of style.

By day, JJ is a digital wizard for a major CPG company, wrangling technology and solving problems that are better explained with flowcharts. By night, he’s a marathon-running, woodworking dad of two little boys who believe he’s a superhero. (JJ neither confirms nor denies this allegation.)

When he’s not crafting stories, JJ can be found on Story with Me - a platform being built to share his creative adventures and where he’s still figuring out how to format images properly.

JJ invites you to join him for tales of wonder, curiosity, and the occasional plot twist. (Warning: May contain terrible dad jokes.)
