Jillian Cowan

I'm Jillian, an industrial design student at University of Cincinnati DAAP with a focus on the intersection of product design, branding, and visual storytelling. I'm drawn to work that builds worlds, whether that's a collab packaging concept, a brand identity, or a more story driven project, and I care deeply about design that makes people feel something.

This fall I'll be studying abroad at Chiba University in Japan, which feels like a natural extension of the curiosity that drives my work.

Professionally I've worked as a New Product Design Intern at Worthington Enterprises and completed freelance projects for companies like SŌW Plated and Shagbark Studios. I'm currently seeking roles in visual and brand design, particularly within creative, entertainment, or consumer-facing industries where design and storytelling overlap.
