ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Hilary Sedgwick
http://www.oh-revoir.com | @ohrevoir
Born and raised in Amherst, MA, Hilary moved to Philadelphia in 2000 to pursue a degree in photography from University of the Arts. Acknowledging her love for beautiful type, well-composed layouts and sharp identity work, she decided to declare Graphic Design as her major. While there she refined her skills in multiple areas including print, digital, typography, identity & photography.
Before joining the Allen & Gerritsen team in May 2011, Hilary worked at O3 World where she finessed her development skills and served in a number of positions with increasing responsibility, culminating in her appointment as the company’s Art Director. Because of her passion to create and grow as an artist, she can often be found at home working on any number of design/web projects. She is known to be a sucker for good cheese & most social occasions. In her free time she can be found riding her bike around the city, attending to every need of her 2 cats or thinking of another way to apply design to her everyday life.
