After spending the past two decades working in the big cities of the midwest and coming home to the Northwoods on the weekends — Jill finally moved home full time. A Creative Director by day, Jill works virtually with an amazing team of people working remotely across the USA while her weekends and vacations are spent with her husband Jeff and daughter Juniper exploring the near, traveling the far and capturing the in-between with photography and sketches. Jill also create stories and characters for picture books and then subsequently apply those characters and pieces of that artwork to fabrics, paper, and products — usually under the Happy the Hodag brand.
