About

Hello!

 

Hello! My name is Lily and I’m a graphic designer and artist, living and working in the city of Chicago. In 2016, I graduated with a dual-degree in Journalism and Writing-Intensive English from Marquette University. In 2020, I earned a certificate in Graphic Design from Parkland College. I Since then I have transferred my passion for storytelling into a career telling visual stories for a variety of clients.

Currently I am working as a freelancer designer for several clients, including Hilton Supply Management. From 2022-2024, I was a brand designer at Storyhorse Branding, working with clients like Hilton, World Business Chicago, and Old Arthur’s Barbecue, among others. Previously, I worked for both full time and as a contractor for clients that include Hindman Auctions, the University of Illinois, and the Urbana Country Club. Before that I was an in-house graphic designer for Flex-N-Gate Corporation, a multi-billion-dollar automotive manufacturing company.

In my free time I love walking my dog by the lake, finding new coffee shops around the city, and kayaking. I also have a side business painting animal portraits which you can see more about here.
