Jeremy Podger

Jeremy started designing merchandise for clothing companies and major-label bands in 2007 under his studio Jaypeedesign. Over seven years he built visual identities, merchandise lines, and web presences for artists including Good Charlotte, Joel Madden, Jeffree Star, and Boys Like Girls, giving him a firsthand view of how difficult it was for creators to get professional-looking product photos without expensive photoshoots.

In 2016 he launched Pixel Sauce, a design studio that formalized his freelance practice. That industry experience became the foundation for Mock IT, a browser-based mockup tool built specifically for the apparel world, now home to 5,000+ mockups across T-shirts, hoodies, sweatpants, accessories, and more. In 2023 he co-founded Mockible, a next-generation mockup platform extending the same mission to a broader creative audience.

Jeremy writes on Mock It's blog about mockup best practices, apparel design, print-on-demand strategy, and the creative tools he wishes had existed when he started out.
