The Artist Behind the Strategy

The Artist & The Studio

I am the illustrator and founder behind DearJilly. This studio was born from a belief that physical connection is vital in our digital world. Inspired by the joy of receiving handwritten letters and yearly surprises from a friend, I create work designed to put a smile on the face of someone you care about. Sending a note to your future self should be a meaningful act—something tactile and intentional, rather than the fleeting digital interactions we rely on today.

My journey started at the drawing board. Long before I stepped into global client servicing, I spent years in Asia as a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. It is a craft I never stopped honing, even while managing multi-million-pound accounts for some of the world's biggest names.

Today, DearJilly is where that journey comes full circle, combining my professional design roots with a lifelong passion for storytelling through art.
