OH, HELLO!

Hey! I'm Jill, the owner & designer of Gert & Co.

Gert & Co was born from my love of bright, fun home decor and the desire to create a unique print for my home. I was searching for a print with the saying, "It Takes All Kinds" and couldn't find what I was looking for. So...I decided to make my own and that's how Gert & Co began!

Gert & Co is a fun, playful paper goods and home décor brand that is woman-owned (and mom-owned). I'm a self-taught artist focusing on watercolor painting and each Gert & Co product is created from one of my original paintings.

My designs are inspired by my favorite things - champagne happy hours, celebrating the little things, and my home state of Maine. Gert & Co celebrates life through whimsical designs and cheeky sayings, and aims to bring a pop of fun to the world!

FUN FACT: The name Gert & Co incorporates pieces of both my Grandmother (Mimi) and Mother who fostered my love for color & creating ever since I was a little girl. It also playfully nods to my love for my mini-goldendoodle, Gertrude.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

THE WAY YOU MAKE PEOPLE FEEL MATTERS

Gert & Co aims to create products that make any recipient feel joyful, seen, and loved. Products that are inclusive. That bring a moment of joy to the world. That celebrate the little things.

I want my products to make you happy. I want them to help you make others feel happy. Simple as that.

IT TAKES ALL KINDS

At Gert & Co, we believe it takes all kinds. This was ingrained in Jill by her mom and she even has it tattooed on her arm! Don't yuck someone's yum just because it isn't your flavor of choice. If it's not hurting you or someone else, move on. Or better yet, embrace what makes others unique!
