Meet the Team

Meet Jill

Designer

As her passion for design and fine art led Jill Duzan Willey on a quest to create her own style of jewelry, the forms found only in nature helped her to complete her journey. Her design sensibilities melded with her appreciation of nature and the first necklace was created. This first creation attracted attention immediately because of its unique combination of stones and silver. Strangers began asking where they could buy her work and the jewelry business, as well as many wonderful new friendships, began. Around the same time, Jill was browsing through a gallery in Naples, Florida and fell in love with a small piece of art leaning against the wall…a jewel in sienna tones with incredibly beautiful lines, circled by a gilded frame. A Picasso lithograph! Several months after the purchase, Jill ran across the art certificate and, for the first time, read the title of her Picasso lithograph…Female Head with Necklace. At that moment, she realized that her new passion was really a calling of sorts!

Meet Heidi

In fact, Jill’s first jewelry trunk show was in Heidi’s living room in 2007. Heidi is currently the Indiana rep for Corian Design and has been in the interior design industry for over 20 years. Her passion lies in being creative. Whether designing a space, choreographing a musical or creating her morning fashion as she heads out the door, her love is creativity. She is excited to be working with the JD team and looks forward to expanding the Jill Duzan audience.
