Willo O’Brien has made a career out of creativity. Her illustrations and designs appear everywhere from the lovable Brizzly Twitter application bear mascot, to concert venue sites powered by Ticketfly, to the much loved rock squirrel adorning apparel in the product line she launched in 2007, WilloToons – where geek meets rock ‘n roll.

Her experience being a self-employed artist for almost a decade has made her passionate about empowering other creatives. Willo shares her expertise advising startups, coaching creative small business owners and speaking at events around the country: SXSW, Conference of Creative Entrepreneurs, Fashion Business, Inc. and Hello Craft’s Summit of Awesome.

In addition to being an artist, entrepreneur and social supercollider, she’s spent nine years mentoring the next generation of writers, artists, and techies at Bamboozled.org. Other interest include: live music, kitties, scuba diving and bear hugs.
