I am always honoured when an organization chooses to partner with us to support their growth. We recognize every dollar is crucial; when we take on a client, our commitment to them is unwavering.


Jennifer Hillmer, President & Chief Creative Strategist HDC

Here's Jen...

 Jennifer (she/her) is HDC Founder & Chief Creative Strategist - an experienced and award-winning Business Development Professional who has been leading teams to sales success for over three decades. 


The ability to envision and develop creative big picture strategies and make data-driven, budget-minded decisions make Jennifer an invaluable ally for businesses and non-profits looking to grow.  She is a passionate advocate for supporting local businesses  and is also the founder of ExploreStrathconaCounty.com. 


Jennifer is a devoted Edmonton Oilers fan (even when it when it wasn't cool), completely enamoured by her young grandchildren, loves her family, her husband and spoiled little dog with whom she shares a condo in Sherwood Park, Alberta. 

Here's Jackson

HDC Mascot

Meet Jackson, our little muse. Not really a mascot since he doesn't know too many tricks. He is a big part of our lives, however, and if ever join us on a virtual call, you are likely to "meet" him! 

Fun facts about Jackson... 

  • He won't eat his supper unless you sprinkle treats on it. 
  • The sound of rain on the window glass scares him. 
  • He loves people, but prefers the quiet ones who give him snacks. Cheezies are his preference.

real world experience

Long before we were creative entrepreneurs, we had other careers & life experiences. Just in case it might give us a competitive advantage, we wanted to share a bit of our history. We are really familiar with the following industries:  

  • Farm Business. One of us grew up on a cattle ranch & we have loved ones who still farm (cattle, crops and bees).
  • Modular Construction, Homebuilding & Renovations. We’ve had our own drywalling business; we have friends and family in the home renovation business; and Jennifer spent a lot of her career in the modular housing world.  
  • Business Travel. We’ve both done a tonne of it. 
  • Senior's Housing. Jennifer spent the best part of the last decade supporting older adults navigate their options; and doing business development for one of the largest operators of senior living in Canada; she still participates in this realm. 
  • Small Service Providers. We have first hand experience being and supporting small businesses. 
  • Non-Profit Organizations. Jennifer is the Co-Founder of  the Women in Business Association Strathcona County; has served on multiple Boards; and supported many non-profits with their organizational needs. 

OTHER FUN STUFF

Jennifer works closely with her husband, Jason. He takes care of the behind the scenes stuff and she loves him more for not making her do bookkeeping. 


They are continuing to build their team and currently working with their incredible team of supporting contractors. 


Jen & Jay are a fun couple with very different strengths:

  • She likes to write stuff and listens to the lyrics of every song 
  • He likes Metallica and Judas Priest 
  • Jen has an unusual obsession with fonts, prefers sans serif
  • He is moderately social and weirdly creative for a math guy
  • He has that farm boy’s ability to fix just about anything
  • Both are long standing Edmonton Oilers’ devotees
  • He knows the capital to every US State 
  • She is a genealogy nerd and history buff
  • She will always be curious to learn more about you and your business, whether you hire us or not
