Around 1950, Hillsberg founded F. Hillsberg Inc., a small graphic arts studio devoted to advertising and title design. Located at 9th Avenue and W 54th Street in Manhattan, Hillsberg's studio occupied the same building as Film Opticals, a company which he collaborated with frequently. He is also known to have collaborated with Paramount's animation division Famous Studios (formerly Fleischer Studios) on a number of projects.
Hillsberg later joined forces with Fred Meyer to form Hillsberg/Meyer (also credited as Hillsberg & Meyer and Hillsburg/Meyer Inc). Over the course of his career, Hillsberg produced title designs and title sequences for dozens of films such as The Pawnbroker, Fail-Safe, The Sea Gull, Popi, Cotton Comes to Harlem, Hercules in New York, House of Dark Shadows, The Last Tycoon, and The Anderson Tapes.
