TheThumbprint: Creative Design Solutions

Moi

My name is Laura Reilly and I have 20+ years experience in product design, online advertising, branding, illustration, and social media.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet at TheThumbprint Studio. Whether you're here to explore my portfolio, looking for help bringing an idea to life, or hoping to find artwork made by a real person for your own space, you've come to the right place.

Take a look around. You'll find examples of my work, the brands I've created work for, the tools I use, and a collection of artwork created by me. In a world where more and more images are generated by machines, I still believe there's something special about work made by a person with a story, a unique point of view, and a pair of hands.

Some Past Clients

I've had the privilege of collaborating with many clients over the past 20+ years. Here are just a few.

The Tools I Use

Every project calls for a different approach, so I've never been loyal to just one tool. From Adobe Creative Suite and Figma to Webflow, Procreate, Jira, Slack, and Zoom, I use whatever helps get the job done.

Lately I've been building AI agents with Claude and ChatGPT to automate administrative tasks, giving me more time to focus on the creative work. The ideas, designs, and artwork though, are still created by me.
