A life-long resident of Cincinnati, Hillenbrand confesses he was surrounded by stories from an early age and started drawing to capture all the stories that he heard. He is the illustrator of many popular children's books, like Please Play Safe, and Biggest, Best Snowman, by Margery Cuyler, The Moon Might Be Milk, by Lisa Shulman, and the juvenile fiction series - Andy Russell, by David Adler. Hillenbrand also authored several children's picture books including Whopper Cake, Louie!, and Smash! Mash! Crash! There Goes the Trash.
