Hire a Filipino graphic designer
A graphic designer turns your ideas into on-brand social posts, ads, decks and PDFs, fast enough to keep up with your marketing calendar.
What they take off your plate
- Social media graphics and carousels
- Ad creatives in every size your platforms need
- Presentation and pitch decks
- Lead magnets, reports and one-pagers
- YouTube thumbnails and channel art
- Simple brand guidelines and templates your team can reuse
- Resizing and updating existing designs
Design that keeps pace with your marketing
Marketing teams rarely lack ideas. They lack someone to turn ideas into finished assets quickly. A dedicated designer changes the rhythm: the post goes out on schedule, the ad gets three variations to test, and the sales deck finally matches the brand.
Portfolio first
We start every creative placement with the portfolio, because it says more than any interview. We look for range within a consistent standard: can this designer work inside someone else’s brand, and does their work look finished? Then the skills test uses a real brief and a round of feedback, because taking direction well matters as much as talent.
Templates multiply output
The best thing a designer can do in their first month is build templates for the formats you use most. Once your weekly posts, ad sizes and deck layouts exist as templates, new pieces take minutes instead of hours, and your team can make small edits without waiting.
How we vet for this role
The skills test
The skills test is a real brief from your backlog, or one like it: a set of three social graphics and one ad in two sizes, following your brand guidelines. We review them against the brief, then send one round of feedback and judge how well the revision lands.
It is one of eight checks, alongside a portfolio review, a past employment check, a live English interview, a paid trial task, a background check and an NDA. You interview the shortlist at the end.

What the first 30 days look like
- Week 1
Brand files, fonts and examples you like are shared. Your designer builds a small template set for your most common formats.
- Week 2
Regular requests start flowing through a brief template and a shared request board.
- Week 3
Revision rounds shrink as the designer learns your taste. Reusable templates cover more formats.
- Week 4
Review turnaround times and output, and plan the next month's bigger pieces like decks or lead magnets.

FAQ
Questions about hiring a graphic designer
Canva or Adobe: which does my designer need?
It depends on what you make. Canva is fast and lets your team edit designs later. Adobe tools and Figma give more control for brand work and complex layouts. Many designers use both, and we scout for the one you need.
Who owns the designs?
You do. Work is created in your Canva or Figma workspace, or delivered with source files, so you can edit and reuse it without us.
Can a graphic designer create our logo and brand from scratch?
Some can, but a full brand identity is specialist work. Most of our designers are strongest at producing steady marketing assets from an existing brand. If you need a brand first, say so on the call.
How do I brief a designer well?
Say who it's for, where it will appear, the size, the one action it should prompt, and link two examples you like. That short brief removes most revision rounds.
