MEET JILL DARROW
Hi there! I’m Jill, a Freelance Designer, Art Director, and Illustrator based in Dallas, Texas.
With over six years of experience in design, concepting, and collaboration, I bring a blend of creativity and strategy to every project. No matter the task, I approach everything with a can-do attitude and a positive disposition. I’ve been recognized by the Dallas and Fort Worth ADDYs, Graphis, DSVC, and was named to Ad 2 Dallas’ 32 Under 32 in 2023.
Before freelancing full-time, I worked inside of creative agencies. There, I learned how to think fast, communicate clearly, and collaborate with not only fellow creatives, but with our clients. These skills have become the cornerstone to my freelance work, where I provide every client with a professional and seamless experience. From ideation to final file hand-off, I promise that every project is managed efficiently and will meet the highest of standards.
