Busy Books: Busy Party

Born in a sleepy little town in the hills of Pennsylvania, Jill always knew she wanted to be an artist. She got her first non-paying job, making drawings for her mom's 5th grade classroom bulletin boards. Upon graduating from Penn State University with a degree in graphic design, Jill entered the corporate design world. As a senior designer and then art director at Hasbro Toys, Jill occasionally embellished collateral and product packaging with fun little drawings. More requests for these illustrations came her way and before she knew it, she was doing more drawing and less layout design. After leaving corporate life to start a family, Jill began freelancing. She lives just west of Boston, with her husband, three teenagers and a crazy, lazy dog! Jill has a passion for hand lettering, illustrating for the children's market and making patterns. As her pinterest will attest, She's inspired by all things mid century, particularly children's books. She tries to make every job fun with the hopes that her work will put a smile on your face!
