Freelance Graphic Designer Needed for Fast-Turnaround Marketing + Client Design Work

I am looking for a reliable freelance graphic designer who can support ongoing client design work for a small creative agency. This is not a role for someone who needs heavy coaching or constant step-by-step direction. I need a designer who can take a brief, understand the goal of the piece, make smart layout decisions, and deliver polished work on a deadline. Type of Work Projects may include: Marketing brochures One-pagers and flyers Presentation decks Social media graphics Event/promotional graphics Client-facing PDF layouts Light brand cleanup and visual consistency work Formatting existing content into polished, professional materials What I Need I need someone who can: Turn written content into clean, well-organized design Understand hierarchy, spacing, alignment, typography, and visual balance Work within an existing brand kit without making everything look random Make thoughtful design decisions without waiting for every instruction Handle revisions quickly and professionally Communicate clearly if something is unclear Meet deadlines without disappearing Send updates when work is in progress Be honest about availability and turnaround time Important Expectations Responsiveness is very important. If you accept a project, I expect you to be available during the agreed timeline and responsive to revision requests. I am not looking for someone who only follows instructions literally. I need someone who can think through the design problem and improve the final result. For example, if the content feels crowded, the font sizes are inconsistent, or the layout does not match the purpose of the piece, I expect you to notice that and fix it. Strong written English communication is important because most feedback and direction will be given in writing.

Paid Test Task I may ask shortlisted candidates to complete a small paid test task before assigning client work. This is to confirm design judgment, communication, and turnaround time. Best Fit The best fit is someone who is dependable, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and able to take ownership of design work without needing constant coaching.
