Meet Jillian – Creative Director & Brand Strategist

Hi! I’m Jillian, owner and designer at Elbongürk.

Before launching Elbongurk, I created textile designs for Pottery Barn, Target, and West Elm. I also spent nine years teaching branding and package design classes in the graphic design program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Now, Elbongürk is my sole focus. 

I bring extensive experience, a solid technical background, formal training, and a deep understanding of the underlying processes and principles that drive effective design. Beyond that, I have the practical knowledge necessary to turn my designs into tangible products that meet FDA and TTB regulations, align with printer requirements, and take advantage of the materials and print type to get the most out of any print. I’ve also built strong connections with some of the nation’s/Midwest’s top printers, Belmark, CanSource, Aljan,  Blue Label, Bear Graphics, Lagersmith Can Supply Co., Craft Beverage Warehouse, and Hart Print. As a result, I partner with top service providers for every job, ensuring the best outcome for your project.
