Available to hire
I am writing to express my keen interest in the freelance Graphic Designer position. As a Graphic Designer/Art Director with 15+ years of experience helping businesses bring their ideas to life through thoughtful design, I believe I would be perfect for this role. With my freelance studio Jill Shapiro Graphic Design, I’ve managed projects from concept to completion across print and digital media, always balancing creativity with efficiency.
My expertise includes identity or logo projects, graphic design, art direction, print and digital design, and mastery of the Adobe Creative Suite. I’m known for quick turnarounds, attention to detail, and strong client communication. Beyond design, I bring solid skills in project management, production, and quality assurance.

Jill Shapiro
