About me

Hello I’m Jill.

I’m a creative Visual Designer with over 15 years industry experience, specialising in delivering high-end visual solutions across digital and print mediums.

I have a proven track record of conceptualising and executing successful campaigns, developing brand identities, and enhancing user experiences through meticulous design and creative thinking.

I enjoy the creative process and the impact design has in both communicating and enhancing people's lived experience of a brand or product.

I’ve gained diverse sector experience through my design work in event management, sports, property, architecture, agency and education.

My professional journey is most noted by my experience at TU Dublin, one of ireland's leading Universities. Here I led branding initiatives and collaborated on major projects, consistently aligning design strategies with brand goals and user needs.

My professional experience is characterised by a hands-on approach and has demanded building strong relationships, effective communication and problem-solving skills, all while maintaining a keen eye for detail and an unwavering dedication to quality.

Whether working independently or as part of a collaborative team, I bring reliability, enthusiasm, and a forward-thinking mindset to every project.

Passionate about continuous growth and driven by a desire to add value, I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic and innovative company.

My passion for design is rooted in a commitment to playful elegance, targeted communication and simplicity of function.
