My personal work thrives on contrast: vibrant colors, textured materials, and intricate detail all woven together to tell visual stories that feel as full and dynamic as life itself. I believe more is more, both in art and in the moments that shape us. A lot of my inspiration is rooted in a rural Wisconsin upbringing and an appreciation for nature but also a love for the big city, a passion for food and cooking, a fascination with science fiction and the surreal, and the humor found in the everyday.

Outside of work, I draw inspiration from vintage finds, folk art, still life and food illustration, interior decorating, and cooking for my family. I also share a home studio — and plenty of mischief — with my two orange cats, Tinky and Chowder, my husband Andrei, and my daughter Sabine.

Hey there! I’m Hilary — a Philadelphia-based Illustrator and proud maximalist with a love for mixed media, bold patterns, and richly layered design. For over 12 years, I’ve been a leading Print Designer and creative visionary in the apparel world, committed to purposeful design that merges creativity with business-driven results. With a sharp focus on proven processes and strong communication, I deliver high-quality, on-brand assets while crafting quirky, playful artwork. This balance of strategy and artistry has driven global bestsellers for both small indie brands and billion-dollar companies alike.

Currently, I’m a full time Print Designer at Urban Outfitters, where I create best-selling graphics for the Women’s Lounge and Graphic categories (you can explore some highlights on my Portfolio page!). I enjoy working across a variety of creative projects — the more moving parts, the better.
