Jill McDonald

Jill always wanted to be an artist. From the moment she could wrap her hands around crayons and sidewalk chalk she could be found drawing and picking out colors that spoke to her. After graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, she worked as a designer/print stylist at Baby GAP and then as an Illustrator at Hallmark Cards. She later went on to start her own Design Studio which led to the launch of Jill McDonald Baby and Kids. Her baby bedding and nursery decor can be found at Babies R Us, Pottery Barn Kids, and Land of Nod among other boutiques. She'd also long dreamt of creating beautiful books for children and has illustrated the award-winning Who's in the Garden?, Who's in the Forest?, Who's in the Farmyard? and Over in the Meadow for Barefoot Books and Pocket Kisses for Little, Brown Books for Young Readers among others. She's currently at work on both writing and illustrating her own novelty and picture books.
