Hire Visual Designers Who Make Brands Memorable

Visual design is the discipline that makes brands recognizable and products feel premium. The visual designers who can create a brand identity that communicates a company’s values at a glance, who understand the relationship between typography, color, and visual hierarchy, and who produce design systems that maintain brand consistency across every touchpoint — those designers are the ones who build brands that customers trust.

We match you with senior Visual Designers who’ve shipped brand identities, marketing design systems, and product visual languages — designers who understand visual craft, brand strategy, and the systematic thinking that makes visual design scale.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based visual design talent.

What Our Visual Designers Produce

Brand Identity & Visual Systems

Logo design, brand identity systems, visual language documentation, and the brand design work that gives companies a distinctive, consistent visual presence. Brand systems that scale — not just a logo and a color palette, but the complete visual language that guides every design decision.

Marketing & Campaign Design

Marketing materials, campaign visuals, social media design, email design, and the marketing design work that communicates brand value and drives conversion. Design that balances brand consistency with campaign-specific creative expression.

Product Visual Language

Product visual identity, icon systems, illustration styles, and the visual design work that makes products feel distinctive and premium. Visual languages that work across product surfaces — web, mobile, and marketing — without requiring separate design systems for each.

Print materials, packaging design, trade show materials, and the physical design work that extends brand identity into the physical world. Design that accounts for print production constraints — color profiles, bleed, and the technical requirements that make print design actually printable.

Visual Design Technology Stack

Design: Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop — the primary tools for visual design production

Typography: Adobe Fonts, Google Fonts — typeface selection and typographic system design

Brand Documentation: Figma, Notion, Confluence — brand guideline documentation

Print Production: Adobe InDesign, Illustrator — print-ready file preparation

Client Success Story: Tech Startup — Brand Identity That Drove 40% Higher Conversion

A B2B tech startup had a product that outperformed competitors in user testing but consistently lost deals to competitors with stronger brand presence. Prospect feedback: “they look like a startup, not an enterprise solution.” Our Visual Designer developed a complete brand identity: a wordmark that communicated precision and reliability (geometric sans-serif with tight letter spacing), a color system anchored in deep navy with a single high-contrast accent color, a typography system that used weight variation rather than size variation for hierarchy (creating a more sophisticated visual impression), and a brand guideline document that ensured consistent application across all touchpoints. Sales team reported 40% higher conversion rate in enterprise deals within 6 months of the rebrand. “Looks like a startup” prospect objection: eliminated from post-deal feedback.

Client Success Story: Consumer Brand — Visual System That Unified 8 Product Lines

A consumer goods company had 8 product lines that had each developed their own visual identity over 10 years — the brand looked like 8 different companies. Our Visual Designer developed a unified visual system: a master brand identity with product line sub-brands that maintained family resemblance while allowing product-specific differentiation, a packaging design system with consistent structural elements (logo placement, typography hierarchy, color application rules) and product-specific color palettes, and a brand guideline document that enabled the internal design team to apply the system consistently without external design support. Brand recognition research: 67% of consumers correctly identified all 8 products as belonging to the same brand (vs. 23% before the rebrand).

Why Companies Choose Our Visual Designers

  • Brand systems thinking: They build visual systems that scale — not just beautiful individual pieces
  • Visual craft: Typography, color, and composition decisions that communicate brand values precisely
  • Production discipline: Print-ready files, correct color profiles, and the technical design knowledge that makes work actually producible
  • 50% cost savings: Senior visual design expertise at a fraction of US market rates
  • Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

  • Individual Visual Designer — One senior designer for brand identity, marketing design, or product visual language.
  • Design Teams (2–3 designers) — For full brand design coverage across identity, marketing, and product.
  • Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate design quality, brand thinking, and team fit before committing long-term.
  • Project-Based — Defined design scope: brand identity, marketing campaign, or visual system.

How To Vet Visual Designers

Our vetting identifies visual designers who build brands — not just designers who produce beautiful individual pieces.

  1. Portfolio review — Shipped brand credits with in-production examples. We look for visual quality, brand systems thinking, and evidence of consistent application across multiple touchpoints. Over 80% of applicants do not pass this stage.
  2. Brand strategy assessment — Can they articulate the brand strategy behind their design decisions? Visual designers who can’t explain why they made specific design choices are making aesthetic decisions rather than strategic ones.
  3. Systems thinking check — Can they describe the visual system they’d build for a new brand? Token structure, application rules, and the documentation that enables consistent application — designers who can’t articulate their systems approach produce inconsistent brand application at scale.
  4. Production quality check — Are their files production-ready? Correct color profiles, organized layers, print-ready specifications — file quality is a direct indicator of production discipline.

What to Look for When Hiring Visual Designers

Strong visual designers build brand systems — they don’t just design beautiful individual pieces.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

  • Portfolio shows brand systems and application examples alongside hero design pieces
  • They articulate the brand strategy behind their design decisions
  • They understand production constraints — print color profiles, file organization, and the technical requirements that make design actually producible
  • They can adapt their personal aesthetic to serve a brand’s specific communication goals

Red flags to watch for:

  • Portfolio is entirely personal style work with no evidence of brand strategy thinking
  • Beautiful individual pieces with no evidence of systematic application
  • No production-ready file experience — designs that would require significant technical cleanup before production
  • Inability to adapt their aesthetic to serve a brand’s communication goals

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

  • “Walk me through a brand identity you designed. What was the brand strategy, how did your design decisions serve that strategy, and how did you ensure consistent application across touchpoints?”
  • “How do you approach designing a visual system for a brand that needs to work across digital and print? What decisions do you make first?”
  • “Describe a situation where a client’s aesthetic preferences conflicted with what you believed was the right brand design decision. How did you handle it?”

Do your Visual Designers have experience with brand guidelines documentation?
Yes. Brand guideline documentation — usage rules, color specifications, typography systems, and the documentation that enables consistent brand application — is a core deliverable for our senior visual designers. We’ll confirm documentation requirements during the matching process.
