Hey there!

I’m Jillian, though most people call me Jill. I’m passionate about all things design—branding, illustration, logos, packaging, social media, photography—you name it. I thrive on bringing creative elements together to tell compelling stories and create lasting impact.

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.

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

You can reach me at jillianmarcellin@gmail.com.

  • I love learning new things—right now, it’s French and pottery (I know, quite the combo!). I firmly believe that staying curious and acquiring new skills, even if they don’t seem directly related to your career, is one of the best ways to continue growing creatively.

    Additionally, I enjoy spending my time reading, practicing yoga, and traveling.
