I launched Jill Lawlor Creative because I care about design that’s not just pretty—it’s got to work, too. Creating brands that are honest, distinct, and downright intriguing keeps me inspired every day, and I love helping fellow entrepreneurs bring their vision to life.

My journey started with a degree in Visual Communication from Ferris State University. I chose Ferris because its program is part of the College of Business, blending design with business and marketing. It taught me that a great design is about more than just how it looks; it’s about the story it tells and the goals it drives.

After college, I spent four years as the lead designer at a community relations firm, where my love for business and the strategy behind design pushed me to get an MBA from Wayne State University. I even got to mix in my passion for sports with roles with the Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs, working in sales and community affairs.

When I’m not busy crafting brand identities, you’ll find me juggling carpool duty, keeping my family fed, and cheering on my kids at their games. And if you spot a new photo of a Jack Russell Terrier named Penny—that’s definitely me.

For me, design is all about telling your story in a way that’s clear, unique, and makes people take notice. I can’t wait to help your business stand out and thrive!
