So here goes a blog...


This blog will be my format to share with you what I find beautiful, inspiring, amazing and new. I hope to post some of my own work as well as other's which influence my way of being.

First, a little about who I am and what I do.

My name is Jill. I live on the Connecticut Shoreline. I love the seasons, the water and the mountains. Here I find my inspiration. Always a creative, I choose to attend Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. There I studied 'Integrated Design' focusing my practice in branding, graphic design, fashion, illustration and film (not very 'focused', I know).  I graduated in 2010 with a bachelors degree in Fine Arts.
There I found my future.

After school, I found an incredible job in a world I soon feel in love with, and it was something I never expected. The bridal industry wasn't one I ever considered but it encompassed so much of what I believed in- it celebrates beauty, love, truth and life by way of fashion. I often describe it to people as "the last place in design with a soul" as the industry is still so much about making the client happy rather than moving merchandise through the door.  There I found my way.

After working in sales for some time, though, it is time to turn my attention to my passion and give value to the world in the best way I can- through design.

I now work as a freelance graphic designer and brand builder- which means I add value to businesses by way of visual marketing, social media, design and art direction.
It's here I find my truth.

When I'm not designing I enjoy the elements, yoga, cooking and healthy food.
