Gillian arrived at see see eye in 2006 after stints at a swanky NYC design firm and an Atlanta branding and design studio. Those gigs followed graduate studies in Graphic Design here in Atlanta as well as in Uruguay. Yes, Uruguay – more on that in a moment.

Shortly before she was to graduate from UGA with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism, a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, a Minor in Photojournalism and with honors, Gillian felt something was missing from her life.

While familial pressure more often dissuades someone from pursuing a creative career, having an interior designer mother, wood-turning father, sculptor/painter grandmother and artist/musician brother may have given Gillian a slight inferiority complex. Fortunately, her two degrees, magna cum laude distinction and the fact that she was an honor student had some redeeming value: they netted her a post-graduate scholarship to study anything, anywhere in the world. So she packed up her love of the Spanish language and headed to South America to study graphic design at Universidad ORT in Montevideo, Uruguay.

While Uruguay was great and NYC nice, Gillian loves Georgia’s big, open spaces, hearing “y’all” on a daily basis and hanging out with her family here in the Atlanta area. We’re glad she now calls see see eye home during the workweek, and that she didn’t just settle for a couple of UGA degrees.
