discover, create, connect
Welcome to harleiquill—where vibrant design, academic nerdery, and a pinch of goblincore magic collide. I’m Jillina: writer, designer, creative chaos engine, and currently deep in the wild woods of my Master’s in Emerging Media at Rutgers–Camden. This space? It’s my digital grimoire. You’ll find research that makes you rethink tech, projects that blend storytelling with pixels and code, and design work that laughs in the face of the phrase “think inside the box.” I believe in the power of iteration, the joy of collaboration, and the unapologetic weirdness of creative growth. Everything here is curated with intention, curiosity, and a loud declaration that your voice, your vision, and your vibe matter. Let’s make something incredible together.

Work Samples and Projects
Welcome to the workshop—this is where ideas take shape, evolve, and occasionally grow wings. My work samples are a blend of the polished and the experimental, the strategic and the strange. Whether I’m designing bold visuals, crafting scroll-stopping content, or stitching together pixels and purpose, each project lives at the intersection of imagination and intent. These aren’t just deliverables—they’re proof that creativity, when paired with curiosity, can do some pretty amazing things.
Design Work
Forget boring. My design work is fueled by a love of storytelling, symbolism, and visuals that mean something. From digital art to client branding to weird little graphics I made at 3AM because the muse showed up uninvited—each piece reflects my ongoing obsession with making things beautiful and impactful. I don’t design for the algorithm—I design for humans.
Social Media Work
Social media is my playground and strategy board. Here you’ll find content campaigns that build connection, not just clicks. I believe in designing posts that people actually feel—whether that’s laughter, nostalgia, or a bold call to action. These projects reflect a blend of data-savvy creativity, community care, and the occasional internet gremlin energy. Because sometimes, the best way to reach someone… is with a perfectly-timed meme.
School Work
This is where the academic magic lives. From research papers that tangle with theory to multimedia experiments and design solutions that toe the line between innovation and chaos—I’ve poured my brain, heart, and a few too many late-night snacks into every project. These works reflect my love for digital media, storytelling, and asking “but what if we did it weirder?” It’s not just schoolwork—it’s exploration, provocation, and the occasional moment of brilliance caught mid-keystroke. Come see what happens when creativity and academia crash into each other at full speed.
Blog
This is where the sparks fly—part journal, part think tank, part late-night ramble that somehow ends in a breakthrough. My blog is where I unpack everything from creative process tangents to education hot takes, tutorials with heart, and musings on what it means to make stuff in a world that’s always shifting. It’s honest. It’s curious. It’s caffeinated. Come lurk, learn, or leave a comment that starts a conversation—I’d love that.
Store (coming soon!)
The cauldron’s bubbling! Soon, you’ll be able to snag original pieces straight from my brain to your hands. Expect handcrafted chaos, designs that tell stories, and items made to spark joy, connection, or a dramatic gasp. Whether it’s goblincore gear, magical matchbooks, or pixelated enchantments, this shop is built with heart, queer energy, and a refusal to make boring things. Stay tuned. The drop will be worth it.
