Hilary was a jewelry designer and gemologist, and one of the founding partners of Doen, a Los Angeles-based brand.

In her biography for the company, the creative consultant said that she split her time between LA and Aspen, Colorado, with her dog Pearl.

Hilary said that in addition to antique jewelry, her passions included "discovering and collecting vintage furniture, objects and beautiful clothing both old and new. I am usually drawn to unique and special pieces that appear modern despite their age."

Hilary also volunteered with the nonprofit Operation Smile with her father and siblings to provide free surgeries to those with cleft lips and cleft palates.
