About Me

Welcome!  I'm Jill, a wife, mom to two awesome grown kids, a proud new grandma, and an empty nester who now has lots of time to indulge in all my favorite things.

 

My life is a beautiful mix of painting, crafting, baking, entertaining, decorating, and just about anything that involves creativity and flair. If it can be embellished, spruced up, or made more special, I'm all about the thoughtful touches.

​

After years of working in the corporate world (think endless meetings and questionable coffee), I found my true calling in non-profit work, where I’ve been happily working to make a difference for over 15 years. Giving back and creating meaningful change fills my soul—but so does a good farmers market, a morning stroll through antique shops, and spending time with my family and my sweet rescue pup, Corey, a cocker spaniel with a knack for stealing snacks and hearts.

​

The beach is my happy place and where I go to reset my mind, recharge my spirit, and pretend I’m starring in a rom-com set by the ocean. I believe life is meant to be romanticized, whether it’s decorating your table with vintage finds, baking cookies with love (and sprinkles), or just soaking up the beauty in everyday moments.

​

I started Designs to Bloom to inspire and connect with other women who share my passion for creating, giving, and finding joy in life’s little details. This is our space to craft, dream, and sprinkle a little extra magic on everything we do. So, grab a cup of tea (or wine, no judgment here), and let’s bloom together! 🌸
