About Jill: Jill Tapia is the CEO of New York package design firm Cornerstone Strategic Branding Inc (CSB). A self-taught production artist and devoted CSB employee of 25 years, Jill took the reins at the company three years ago, right before the pandemic hit the US. Building on CSB’s 30 years of packaging experience and expertise, as well as a stacked legacy client list, including Nestlé, Blue Triton, Ferrero, Gorton’s, Labatt, Mrs. T’s, Coca-Cola, and Red Bull, Jill reinvigorated the company and her employees with new energy and a fresh perspective.

Jill has 34 years of experience in package design, much of which was spent as a production director (after eight years of hands-on experience as a production artist). At the start of her career, Jill worked on cosmetics and designer fragrances, which is where she developed her skills in specialty printing and finishing techniques. Jill is an expert in all types of printing processes and production techniques, with a focus on flexography.
