Jillian is a costume designer, founder, and advocate who uses storytelling and commerce as tools to drive impact and spark change.

Her career began in London, the global heart of theater, and continued in Boston, where she built tutus and designed for the city’s fringe theater community. In Los Angeles, she designed for film, television, and commercial productions, and today her work spans the United States and internationally. Across every project, Jillian follows the work where it needs to be, drawing inspiration from international circular solutions, strategies for sustainable and responsible growth, and values-driven approaches to production.

Jillian developed and operationalized Roboro’s Six Tenets from lived experience and necessity. They provide a framework not only for shaping circular solutions and sustainable practices at Roboro, but also for guiding her own approach to thoughtful consumption. This encompasses the stories we watch, share, and internalize, as well as the entertainment and art that can inspire or isolate. The philosophy informs the productions she shapes and the systems she builds, allowing her to balance big-picture vision with boots-on-the-ground execution.

Jillian creates visually striking costumes and aligns projects with solutions that grounded in real-world challenges, strengthening the story at every level of production.
