Hi! I’m Jill.
Let’s Make Something Together
My work is rooted in the idea that creativity works best when it feels intentional, not intimidating. For over 20 years, I’ve used creativity as a tool to help people tell their stories, grow their businesses, and build meaningful connections with the communities they serve.
Brand & Marketing Consulting
Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats. Marketing shouldn't be the one that keeps falling off. I start with your brand — the strategy, the voice, the look — then build the marketing plans and campaigns to match. Consistent, intentional, and built to grow.
Design Services
Good design isn't just about looking nice. It's about looking like you and speaking to the right people. Using your Brand Style Guide, I create websites, social content, and campaigns that are as intentional as they are good-looking. Your visuals will do the talking when you're not in the room.
Art Workshops
When did you last make something just for yourself? Tap into your creativity at an adult art workshop in Santa Cruz. Unplug, de-stress, and experiment with painting, mixed media, writing, and other art forms in a supportive, laid-back space.
