Jillann Hertel Del Tejo, MFA
Award-winning Educator, Creative Director, Artist, and Consultant.
Jillann moves at the rhythm of ideas — their spark, their unfolding, and their transformation into tangible realities. A producer of film and live experiences, curator of visual art and live music performance, and mentor to emerging creatives in higher education, she lives at the convergence of vision and action.
With an instinct finely tuned to the intangible — intuition, emotion, momentum — Jillann guides concepts from abstract to alive. Her work flows across disciplines: writing that breathes, visuals that speak, strategies that stretch beyond the expected. Whether at the helm of a collaborative team or immersed in hands-on craft, she channels expressive excellence into every frame, every moment, every decision.
Rooted in media, art, and storytelling, her creative practice is both experimental and intentional. She builds spaces — literal and conceptual — where big ideas collide with impact. As an orchestrator of potential, she doesn’t just imagine what’s next. She brings it vividly, viscerally, into being.
