shop it’s a star began in 2019 after making small baby products became more than a hobby for jill. while handmaking paci clips and baby teethers brought jill much joy, her real passion emerged once venturing into the world of offering+handmaking teacher goods in 2021. in 2022, jill started offering various other products with the use of her laser engraving machine. jill has plans to continue to expand her unique offerings for women + teachers! 

jill resides in naperville, il (a large suburb of chicago) with her husband steve (who also is a teacher) and two sons, benny and parker. jill is a high school pe and health teacher, teaching at the high school she went to. her hobbies+passions include playing lots of pickleball, traveling and spending quality time with family and friends.

jill most recently had the opportunity in december 2022 to open up a holiday pop-up shop in downtown downers grove, il. this was a huge milestone for jill as this small shop was in the heart of her hometown!
