Hillary Cianciosi

Just the right amount of weird.
Art Director currently helping shape one of the world's most beloved pet brands.
I create brand systems, illustrations, campaigns,
and visual stories designed to make people feel something.
Outside of work, I'm usually chasing a new obsession—
screen printing in the garage, crafting resin dice, tending to an
ever-growing collection of plants, or spending entirely too much time
in a D&D campaign.
I've always been drawn to worldbuilding.
Sometimes that world is a national brand.
Sometimes it's a sketchbook page.
Sometimes it's an imaginary tavern filled with questionable adventurers.
Either way, I'm happiest making things.

I believe the best creative work sits somewhere
between strategy & curiosity.
Strong systems matter.
Clear communication matters.
The things people remember are often the strange details—
the unexpected illustration, the hidden joke, the tiny moment of delight.
Those are the things I chase.
