Jillian Harris is a mother, fiancé, storyteller, and quintessential busybee who pours her heart and soul into every endeavour. She leads three highly successful businesses in the media, product, and education industries and is also a bestselling cookbook author. She is the Founder of Jillian Harris Design and The Jilly Academy, Co-Author of Fraiche Food Full Hearts and Fraiche Food Fuller Hearts, and Co-Founder of The Jilly Box. The Jilly Box is a quarterly subscription box filled with products selected (and some even designed!) by Jillian and her team. The Jilly Box was born out of an idea to not only share some of Jillian’s favourite products but also as a way to help support small and upcoming businesses. In particular, the brand’s mission is to support small North American businesses, including as many purpose-driven companies owned by historically marginalized groups as possible each season. The Jilly Box was recently included as one of The National Post’s top subscription boxes in Canada (according to interest), and with the addition of the e-commerce store “The Jilly Market,” its product offerings continue to grow!
