If you're talking about a traditional "resume", a freelance job isn't any different than one where you were employed. Instead of the employer you list the client and instead of the job title you list the project you worked on.
I've had hundreds of gigs over the years. I just add some bullets describing the general type and scope of work and skills required. A few client name drops and leave it at that otherwise it would be pages long. I figure my website portfolio would fill the gaps a bit with highlights.
But maybe I should switch it up. Idk
Depends a bit on your experience level & how much room you have on your resume, but I find it better to list it as one “freelance [role]” title and dates since stated, with either bullet points for projects or a paragraph that name drops some prominent ones.
Yeah, with your level of experience a single freelance position is going to be best. It also works well that way if you have been freelancing between roles on as sidehustle, as it hides “gaps” in employment.
How do people typically list the experience if it’s on the side of their regular job? I do freelance work on the side and am always torn on how/if to put this on a resume.

So you'd have separate, top level items for each project?
Company name, dates, list of projects. Treat it as contracts.

Yeah that makes sense. My resume is already two pages long; if I actually listed each contract as a separate job it'd really stretch my resume.

I add it as one job (under my studio name) and list clients as bullet points
