I am [first name], a graphic designer in [your town]. I mostly work on brand identity and logos, packaging and print and marketing collateral. The part of the job I care most about is handing over files the client can still use in five years — it is the bit people notice later, long after they have forgotten what I charged. I am independent. If you want to talk something through before committing to anything, I start with a short brief session, then concepts — no mood boards billed as work.

Use this on your own site, where sounding like a person beats sounding like a CV.

I am a graphic designer who does one thing properly: brand identity and logos. I could do everything on the list, and for years I did. Now I do this, and I do it better than I did when I was doing all of it. I am independent. If that is what you need, we should talk. If it is not, I will point you at someone good.

Use this if you have deliberately narrowed what you do. It reads as confidence, not limitation.

[First name] has been a graphic designer for [number] years, working mostly on brand identity and logos and packaging. [He/She/They] [one true, small, human detail — a sport, a rescue dog, a town they grew up in]. [First name] is independent, and is the one you will actually deal with.

Use this where people hire the person, not the company — one detail, not a life story.

[Business name] — graphic designer in [your area], independent. Brand identity and logos, packaging and print and marketing collateral. You own the artwork and the source files. Appointments available. Start a project.

Use this where the format is rigid and you have maybe forty words.

[Full name] founded [business name] in [year] after [number] years working for [someone else]. The reason was simple: ending up with a logo they cannot edit and files they cannot open was the norm, and it did not need to be.

Use this when the bio sits inside a wider About page and should not repeat it.
