I’m Libby, a Chicago-based designer specializing in visual communication, typography, and layout design. I utilize my creative skills to create pleasing and effective visual experiences.

From 2016 to 2023 I worked at The Onion, where I guided the visual brand identity and produced over 8,000 unique graphics in a fast-paced, collaborative newsroom.

I’m currently freelancing as a graphic designer, tackling anything from agency pitch decks to brochures for local volunteer-run organizations. Email me at libby.a.mcguire@gmail.com to work together!

Whether designing for readers, users, or my own coworkers, my audience’s needs drive my work. I thrive when solving problems, and promoting clarity and accessibility is my passion! Read more about my 10 years of professional creative experience on my LinkedIn.
