Jalia Dillard

My name is Jalia Dillard, and I’m a multidisciplinary creative from Martinsville, VA.

I have a BA from the University of Virginia in Interdisciplinary Studies. With a concentration in Arts Administration, Marketing, and New Media, I am passionate about the research and impact of influencer marketing on Gen Z.

In 2023, I became part of the Charlottesville arts community. I supported creative programming and community engagement as an educator and marketing intern with The Bridge PAI, Light House Studio, and the Charlottesville Mural Project. I also served as Creative Programs and Engagement Coordinator for Ridgeway, VA, consulting on their website and installing a mural.

I currently work as Graphic Designer and Content Creator for Light House Studio, where I focus on expanding social media and reaching Gen Z audiences. In the future, I aim to continue building accessible creative spaces and advancing creative direction that connects communities through art.
