EP 110 - Jill Seale - Designer, Artist, and Author
Jill Seale, an artist, designer, and author, joins us in this week’s episode. We met Jill at a design event a couple of years ago, where she was one of the guest speakers. She shared the journey of her “marbling” work and set up a mini marbling workshop for attendee participation. Jill is a talented and driven designer, winning numerous awards and accolades in the gift and home industry. A-list clientele, including the White House and Paul McCartney, have sought out her designs. Her most recent work emphasizes marbling which has led her to incorporate textiles and a broader range of design to her work, such as botanicals, watercolors, and graphics. Stay tuned for this fascinating conversation with Jill!

Key Takeaways:
Jill touches on her time in Italy, where she studied marbling. She speaks to the Italian tradition of celebrating the arts, how the creative process is allowed to take as long as needed for completion, unlike in the U.S., where it’s about manufacturing and producing projects as quickly as possible.
Marbling allowed Jill to liberate herself through her own creative dialogue and expression.
Being a part of the home industry is Jill’s favorite aspect about the work she does now because she’s never been in an industry where people tell each other they love each other and who are so warm and welcoming.
On Jill’s website, she sells a variety of different home items including textiles, pillows, wall coverings, tabletops, stationary, masks, and more.
