A recovering lawyer and stay-at-home mom, I started Jilli Beans after spending one too many late nights at the kitchen table, crafting last-minute costumes for elementary school theme days. Armed with my kids’ Halloween candy, a glue gun and an old-school bedazzler, I found an outlet for my somewhat repressed creativity and Jilli Beans was born. My goal is to create unique and whimsical designs that honor the individuality of each recipient. From jean jackets to candy cakes, I hope you’ll find something sweet on these pages that makes you smile. Almost everything you see can be adapted to suit the individual or the occasion so customize to your heart’s content!

I’ll end with a quick shout out to my littles: Jillianne for lending her nickname and her sparkle, and Charlie for lending his heart.
