About Jillian & MAMMaway:
"With an early diagnosis of endometriosis as a teenager, Jillian was told it was unlikely that she’d be able to have children, so she pivoted away from her plans of mothering and spent her 20s focusing on her career and traveling the world. While living in Singapore with her partner and working in a heavily male-dominated industry with extreme travel requirements, Jillian and her partner were given the blessing and surprise of getting pregnant. But with that came a major problem: finding a way to store enough milk for her week-long business trips without the bags breaking in the freezer and going to waste. That was what sparked the development of the Freeze-It-Flat (and MAMMaway)!"
