    What Does a Graphic Designer Do?

    Hire a Graphic Designer who delivers professional visuals on time, every time. Social graphics, ad creatives, presentations, and brand assetsall within your brand guidelines.

    The problem: You're spending weeks briefing freelancers who don't know your brand, then sending 6 rounds of revisions to get something passable. Or your in-house designer is so backlogged that campaigns are delayed and ad creative runs stale. You need a designer who knows your brand inside out, shows up every day, and delivers fast without constant direction.

    Graphic Designer FAQ

    Common questions from US businesses hiring a remote Graphic Designer.

    Social media graphics, ad creatives (Meta, Google Display), presentations, pitch decks, email templates, brochures, flyers, infographics, brand identity assets, packaging mockups, and website banner graphics.

    Yes. Proficiency in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Canva Pro is standard. Figma is common for UI-adjacent work. The specific tools used depend on your stack.

    Absolutely. Providing brand guidelines is the fastest way to get high-quality output fast. If you don't have guidelines, your designer can help create a basic style guide from your existing assets.

    Yes. Ad creative production including static images, animated GIFs, and multi-format asset sets is a core output for most designers. They'll follow your ad spec requirements per platform.

    At 40h/month (Starter), expect 8–12 standard deliverables. At 160h/month (Full-Time), expect 30–50+ deliverables depending on complexity. Complex brand identity or deck work takes more time per deliverable.

    Basic motion graphics using After Effects or Canva animation is within scope for most designers. For complex 2D or 3D animation, pair with a specialized motion designer.

    For ongoing brand and marketing design (social, ads, decks), Expert (3–5 years) is the sweet spot. For complex branding, UI, or creative direction work, Pro. For high-volume simple requests (banners, templates), a Beginner works well.

    Design requests are submitted via your preferred project management tool Asana, Trello, Notion, or even a shared Google Sheet. Your designer will acknowledge and prioritize requests within 2 hours.
