A Bit About Me

I’m Lily Wilson, a multidisciplinary creative with a passion for blending design, storytelling, and strategy. With a background in marketing, visual communication, and event production, I help brands bring their ideas to life both digitally and in person. Whether I’m designing campaigns, coordinating activations, or developing content, I always aim to create experiences that feel intentional, engaging, and human. I’ve collaborated with startups, social impact brands, and community-driven businesses, and I’m always excited to explore what’s next.​

 

What sets me apart is my ability to wear both creative and strategic hats. I’m not just a designer or marketer; I understand how to build thoughtful brand experiences from concept to execution. I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments where storytelling, design, and community engagement intersect. With hands-on experience across event production, digital marketing, and content creation, I bring a human-centered approach that’s adaptable, resourceful, and rooted in purpose. I’ve worked closely with mission-driven brands, and I know how to connect with audiences in authentic and impactful ways.
