Jeanetta Hill

President & CEO

Jeanetta Hill is the founder and owner of Personal Touches by Jeanetta. She formed the company following careers in sales and recruiting. Although her professional design career developed as an adult, Ms. Hill has enjoyed a creative flair since childhood. In the late 1980s, she funneled that creativity into some part time event design projects. The success of those assignments laid the foundation for the company that would eventually become Personal Touches by Jeanetta.

Ms. Hill has received numerous awards and recognitions including appearing in Who’s Who in Black St. Louis and Who’s Who in Black Detroit. However, as much as that recognition honors her, Jeanetta is rewarded most by the work she does giving back to her community. She is a member of the Charmain Chapman Society for United Way, a board member of The Youth and Family Center and has been part of the MS society’s on-going charitable efforts.
