Hi there.
I'm Jillian. Jilly for short. I've spent the past 16 years building global brands for Fortune 500 companies, creating integrated campaigns from concept to completion for some of those most iconic and beloved brands.
I have a strong foundation in design and art direction and feel passionate about the importance of honoring craft along with concept. I believe in the power of collaboration and creativity to create human-centric ideas that can influence culture, achieve business goals and spark positive change.
On the side, I have a creative collective with two close friends called Slanted Mill that's sometimes a metalsmithing studio, sometimes a hangout spot with wine and sometimes an ad shop where we create branding and social content for small businesses.
Here's my contact info if you'd like to chat about job opportunities, new projects or discuss all the ways a Detroit Coney Dog and a Chicago-Style Hot Dog are equally amazing. I’m here for all the things.
