Hey there! I’m Jillian,
but most people call me Jill.

I’m a Graphic Designer at Duquesne University, where I have the exciting role of helping future students connect with their potential industries through thoughtful, engaging design. My passions include: branding, illustration, logo development, packaging, social media, and photography. I thrive on bringing creative elements together to tell compelling stories and create lasting impact.

Originally from Western New York (yes, there is a western part of NY!), I’ve been creating and learning for as long as I can remember. Beyond my 9-5, you can find me learning to speak French, at the pottery studio, or with a book!

Feel free to get in touch—I’d love to connect!
