about
Hi, I'm Lillian!
I'm a communications and marketing professional with a passion for digital design. By day, I manage communications at the University of Georgia College of Engineering; by night, I design websites, graphics, and more. I strive to create a better world through creative and impactful human-centered design.
When I'm not working, I enjoy learning about native plants and permaculture, tending to my wildlife garden, cooking up tasty vegan meals, and spending time with my husband and our menagerie of chickens, dog, cats, and constant rotation of foster cats.
I'm primarily interested in pro bono design jobs for nonprofits, mutual aid organizations, or other community-focused work. Have a design project you'd like to collaborate on? I'd love to connect!
