Hey there, I’m Jillian!

I’m a Product Designer who is currently working in sunny Boulder, Colorado. 

I’m a Product Designer who is currently working in sunny Boulder, Colorado. 

I’m a UX Designer who is currently working in sunny Boulder, Colorado. 

As a designer with a background in Human Factors Engineering, I bring a unique blend of systems thinking, technical proficiency, and creative problem solving to the table. I enjoy simplifying complexity and creating unified, intuitive experiences that help teams move faster and users feel confident.

I’ve spent my career building and championing design systems. In my current role at Cimpress Technology, I split my time between designing B2B product configuration tooling and leading design work on Cimpress UI, our first design system. I’ve been instrumental in driving support from leadership to create Cimpress UI and migrate the organization to using one consistent design system. 

Before Cimpress, I worked on IBM’s Carbon Design System, focusing on efforts to develop patterns to support design complexity, restructuring our approach to documentation, and creating resources and support for onboarding new designers and developers. 

Outside of work, you’ll find me folding paper tessellations, growing sunflowers, or running D&D campaigns.

Core Values

Systems for Scale

I care deeply about consistency, especially in complex product ecosystems. I’m drawn to work that brings order to complexity. I care about consistency, reusability, and the systems that make products feel cohesive, even when built by many hands.

Clear, Intentional Communication

Good design is more than layout. It's in the words we choose and how we guide people through an experience. I value content that is purposeful, clear, and built to serve the user.

Comfort in Ambiguity

I’m at my best when the problem space is undefined. Early in a project, when there are more questions than answers, I enjoy mapping out constraints, uncovering patterns, and creating clarity from uncertainty.
