Bio
Mel Dillon
I had the pleasure of working with Jill on the same design team at Gartner studios. We were both Senior Graphic Designers at the time. Jill is an absolute necessity on a design team. She quickly pivots on projects, is incredibly driven, communicates easily with all cross functional teams, and clearly has a deep knowledge of the product design and surface illustration fields. Jill’s surface illustration is stunning and works with a wide range of media (from digital illustration to watercolor, acrylic, etc). She consistently delivers a variety of styles and looks, from masculine painted plaids, to delicate florals. Jill’s genuine kindness and team mentality makes her a joy to work with. I highly recommend Jill!
Cassandra McGrath
I have crossed paths with Jill twice in my career and she continues to be one of the more talented artists I know. She is passionate, creative, and cares deeply about the work she does and doing her job well.
