Illustrator Julie McIntyre from Bigawk.com is our fantastic illustrative partner who does much of our character work while juggling her own painting and illustration projects (she's incredible!) as well as her day job for Nine West in NY.(See a page of Julie's amazing illustration work here!)

We strive for the very highest standards in luscious, inspired design as well as great customer service. We almost always develop long lasting relationships with our clients and enjoy to the fullest watching their businesses take off and grow into successful spas, salons & boutiques. Sharing the entrepreneurial experience with other women business owners brings us a lot of satisfaction. Some clients have been with Gillian since the beginning - over 10 years now!
