Hilary graduated with a degree in Art Education and spent two years teaching in Saipan and Hawai’i before marrying and moving to Greenville. She is currently a stay-at-home mom who teaches a private art lesson on a weekly basis. Her husband, Jacob is the founder of J4 STUDIOS, a local graphic design/marketing business; their son, Caleb is three years old.

Hilary has always enjoyed sewing, learning over the course of her life from various mentors. Recently her love of fiber arts has collided with the deep desire of her and Jacob to adopt from Ethiopia. They are currently in the process of adopting, and hope to bring home their child (or possible children) from Ethiopia in the next year to year and a half. She has designed and carefully handcrafted each item with the goal of putting all profits to the adoption expense. If you are interested in a custom designed item – such as a diaper bag or purse – feel free to ask.

Hilary’s first Hope is the Lord Jesus Christ. A relationship with the Lord promises a hope far exceeding anything here on earth. The hope Jacob and Hilary have as a couple is the hope of providing orphans with a loving, nurturing, home.
