Since 1983, Koch Creative Services, Inc. has provided a full range of design and communications work for a variety of clients. Our strengths are in service providers and manufacturers, but we've also worked with small and mid-sized businesses, governmental agencies, sports facilities, arts organizations and associations. The firm operates under the leadership of Grayslake, Illinois resident Jill Koch.

With a degree in theatre and arts administration from Northern Illinois University, Jill spent her post-college years working in public relations and communications for professional regional theatres.

She moved on to a community relations position for one of the nation's top park and recreation agencies, where she further honed her design skills and her knack for spinning plates. In spring 1983, she started her own creative firm.

In the early days, Jill thanked her lucky stars for the opportunity to study and work with Chicago's Theatre Building founder Byron Shaffer, public relations genius Albert Walker, "Subscribe Now" Danny Newman, artistic director Ed Stern and fundraising pioneer Sandra Tanzer. These days, she takes great joy in partnering with the best clients in the world.

When not at work, she can likely be found down the street with her feet in Gray's Lake.
