Jill received her B.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Maryland in 1990. Starting with a public relations firm in San Diego that same year, she developed logos, identity packages and public awareness campaigns for clients in the health care industry. Moving to Sacramento in 1994, she joined Comstock’s magazine and embraced publication design – adding magazines, journals and specialty books to her portfolio. Her career led to the corporate environment of Resource Management International, which showcased her skills handling the image of large-scale public utility projects as she produced a variety of outreach materials.
Jill opened HareLine Graphics and retained RMI as her first client. Prospering on her own, she has added both public and private agencies to her growing client list. HareLine Graphics specializes in publications and brand cohesiveness for both online and print media. Her long-standing relationships with printers and prepress personnel make her an expert in managing projects through the print process.
Jill is known in the design and print industry as a well-spoken, enthusiastic and dependable team member who brings creativity and real-world experience to every project. In 2009, HareLine Graphics combined with Clover Communications to become HareLine Graphics, Inc.
