ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Jill Baker. I’m a creative, strategic, and detail-driven graphic designer with over 15 years of experience bringing ideas to life through compelling visuals. For the past eight years, I’ve worked in healthcare communications at a Federally Qualified Health Center, where I specialize in designing inclusive, multilingual materials that build trust and promote access to care.

Outside of healthcare, I partner with small businesses, nonprofits, and local organizations to craft custom branding, marketing, and print collateral that’s both clean and effective. Whether it’s a bold logo, a full campaign, or a community event flyer, I approach each project with purpose, heart, and a deep respect for the audience.

My style blends creativity with clarity, ensuring every piece is not only beautiful but functional and impactful. I’m passionate about design that serves people, tells stories, and creates connection.

I am a creative thinker, a visual storyteller, and a dedicated designer committed to making meaningful work.
