About

Hi! I'm Jillian. I am a product designer and artist with a passion for creating. I aim to elevate and enhance everyday experiences through thoughtful design and focus on serving underrepresented communities through the development of physical products and visual interfaces.

I received a B.S. degree through the School of Individualized Studies at the Rochester Institute of Technology where I focused in Industrial Design and Mobile Design and Development. During these years I gained expertise designing low cost prostheses while working with ceramic 3D printers for implications in the medical field. I also have past experience working as a product designer building physical models and digital interfaces in New York and Spain.

Currently, I am in pursuit of a Masters in Design at UC Berkeley. I am excited to create and collaborate with like minded individuals driven to bring positive change to the growing technological world.
