Revenue Impact
The Blackwell Inn & Conference Center is currently generating $14,000 in annual retail from their custom pillow sales. The pillows don’t just enhance the guest experience—they pay for themselves and continue generating revenue over time.
Local Artwork
PILLOVV brings local artists’ work into hotel rooms through beautiful, embroidered throw pillows. Each pillow features a local artist and tells their story—giving guests a meaningful, place-based experience while supporting the local arts community in an authentic way.

Video Introduction!
Limited Availability
I'm reaching a point where PILLOVV is moving into its next phase — which means I'll soon begin charging for product development and sampling. Before that transition, I'm taking on five final hotel projects.
This means you get a fully custom artist concept and a physical sample made just for your property — completely free. All I ask in return is that you promise to look at it, share your honest feedback, and leave a review if you love it.
I'd love to create something beautiful for your property. See you soon!
