JILL MCLEAN

Direction + Strategy | Design + Content

My passion for excellent design, and defining a company’s purpose, unite to create a rightly ordered package for success. I’ve been developing relevant and strategic visuals, content, campaigns, and strategies for 28+ years.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fine Arts from University of Oregon, I continued to develop my fine art practice. Eventually, I discovered a genuine love for beautiful design, and in turn opened an independent design practice so I can help businesses achieve their goals in a real way. My long design career has taken place in Los Angeles, Chicago, and now in my hometown of Newport Beach, CA. I’ve enjoyed acting in roles as Creative Director, Art Director, Senior Designer, and Consultant. One thing doesn’t change, though: I roll up my sleeves and work hard!

There is collaboration in meaningful ways through direct-to-client relationships, short-term projects, and on-site or remote long-term or permanent positions. Projects done during my career include promotional print campaigns, large format and booth design, SaaS and tech visuals, website development, email design, social media, motion graphics, video, branding and rebranding, copy development (promo, company, bio, and editorial), and much more. As for industries, it’s hard to keep it simple! A short list includes corporate, healthcare, financial, entertainment, SaaS and tech, small businesses, property and construction, gaming, plus magazines and editorial (print and digital).

I’m energized each day because of the new technology and software to learn and engage, which also means consumers and businesses are always evolving. Simply put, I love what I do. From the creative process, to working with others and achieving goals together, my evergreen purpose is to make a positive impact in this world through excellent design and content.

With Gratitude,
