Hello and welcome to my Graphic Design portfolio website. My name is Claire Louise Frieling.
I’ve been working as a Graphic Designer & Art Director since graduating from the University for the Creative Arts in Epsom, England in 2001. Originally from England, I moved to Chicago to be with my future husband Darin after meeting him in Thailand in 2006. We now live in Oak Park, and now have three children, Archie, Jack, and Vivienne, and a yellow lab named Sadie May.
I am fortunate to have worked for many prestigious clients across a broad range of design disciplines; specializing in packaging, in-store graphics, and print materials for retail. Please browse the pages on this website to see examples and see my resume below. I also help small businesses and start-ups with logos, business cards, print ads, packaging, and websites, and relish helping with personal design requests, such as wedding and shower invitations.
I love all aspects of Design! I started a fashion label called Rudy Ludy in 2005,
fun and funky fashion for birthday parties and concerts. I also enjoy Interior Design and painting.

“Claire Frieling is an excellent graphic designer. She helped me with a website project, and I found her to be patient and a good listener. She digested my goals and helped me come up with a solution. I appreciated that she’s the sort of designer who also helps with strategic recommendations. She delivered on time (even when she was on vacation!) I recommend Claire as a valued design partner.”

“Claire has done an amazing job creating a logo, letterhead and business card for my new business – all of which I love! Being a new business, I wasn’t sure what design I wanted, but Claire came up with lots of suggestions and options for me to choose from and was incredibly patient with me when I asked her to show me different color schemes etc. I can’t thank her enough – I have a logo which I love and one that really sums up my business aspirations. Thank you Claire!”
