Graphic Designer (Freelance | Ongoing Project Work)

B A S Media is looking for a talented freelance Graphic Designer to join our creative team on an ongoing, project-by-project basis. We're looking for someone who can create high-quality, strategic design work for both print and digital communications. This role is ideal for a freelancer who enjoys agency work and wants project-based work, while maintaining the flexibility of working with other clients. This is not a part-time position. It's project-based, and we're looking for someone who values creativity, communication, and accountability as much as great design. What You'll Design You'll work on a variety of projects, including: Brand identity systems Social media graphics (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn) Stories and Reels cover graphics Carousel posts Print advertisements Brochures Flyers Presentation decks Event collateral Website graphics Infographics Campaign creative Marketing collateral for public-sector and private-sector clients Some projects you may be designing for a municipality. Other projects you may be designing for a luxury mixed-use development or a state organization. Every project is different. What We're Looking For Strong graphic design skills are non-negotiable. You should have an eye for: Layout and composition Typography Color theory Branding Visual storytelling Creative problem solving You should know how to make information both beautiful and easy to understand. You should also understand how creative differs across platforms. Designing for Instagram isn't the same as designing for LinkedIn, and a printed brochure shouldn't look like a social media post. Required Skills Adobe Illustrator Adobe Photoshop Adobe InDesign Canva Pro Print production knowledge Social media creative Brand identity systems Presentation design Bonus points if you also have experience with: Figma Premiere Pro After Effects Basic motion graphics Short-form video editing Who Will Thrive Here We're looking for someone who: Follows creative briefs carefully Brings thoughtful ideas, not just execution Understands current design and social media trends Can balance creativity with brand standards Welcomes constructive feedback Pays attention to details Delivers polished work on time Agency experience is a plus, but we're also open to talented designers who are building their portfolios if their work demonstrates strong creative ability. Communication & Accountability Responsiveness is a requirement, not a preference. We communicate through: Monday.com WhatsApp Email Text You'll report to our Creative Director and work within established creative systems and workflows. If your availability changes, we expect you to communicate that early, because we understand freelancers balance multiple clients, but honesty about bandwidth is essential so we can plan accordingly. Meeting deadlines, following our workflow, and communicating proactively are just as important as producing great creative. Our Creative Philosophy We use AI to improve efficiency, but not to replace creativity. We're looking for a designer who thinks conceptually, understands strategy, and uses AI as a tool rather than a shortcut. We value original thinking, strong typography, intentional layouts, and designs that solve communication challenges. Compensation Ongoing project work $30–$50/hour, based on experience and portfolio We believe great design is strategic. Every piece should have a purpose, solve a communication challenge, and strengthen the client's brand.
