Jill Jenkins
Business Manager/Senior Account Executive
Jill Jenkins has been with Prodigal since 1995, not long after the company’s inception. Laser-focused and organized, yet incredibly personable, Jill is Prodigal’s longest-standing employee, and has helped the company grow into what it is today. Jill’s ability to make sure things get done has been finely honed during her time working at Prodigal, but mostly as a wife and mother of four.
Jeremy Scott
Sr. Multimedia Designer/Illustrator
Jeremy is truly the swiss army knife of designers, with a full range of talents including illustration, animation, video production and design. He has spent the last 20 years since earning his BFA degree sharpening his skills, to pay his many bills.
Hannah Best
Graphic Designer
After attaining her BFA, Hannah has looked to continue her knowledge in everything related to communicative art. “My goal as a graphic designer is to create beautiful and practical work that inspires people to think differently about design and its potential to transform the world around us.”
