A graphic designer creates visual assets that help a company communicate its brand, message, and products clearly. Their work can include website graphics, social media visuals, ads, presentations, packaging, print materials, brand identity elements, and marketing collateral.
A strong graphic designer combines creativity, software skills, and brand thinking. They don’t just make things look good. They help your business look consistent, polished, and easy to recognize across every channel.
The cost to hire a graphic designer depends on experience level, location, portfolio quality, software expertise, and the type of design work your company needs. Based on our salary benchmarks, a U.S.-based graphic designer averages around $4,700 per month, while a Latin American graphic designer averages around $1,800 per month, creating potential savings of up to 62%.
That makes Latin America a strong option for companies that need full-time design support without adding a heavy U.S. payroll cost.
Yes. Hiring a remote graphic designer from Latin America can be a great fit for companies that need creative support during U.S. business hours. Designers in the region can collaborate with marketing, sales, product, and content teams on brand assets, campaigns, web graphics, presentations, and ongoing visual content.
Because Latin America has strong time zone overlap with the U.S., remote designers can join meetings, receive feedback, make revisions, and deliver creative work without long delays. The page also highlights U.S. time zone alignment, English screening, cultural fit, and cost savings as key advantages of hiring in the region.
When hiring a graphic designer, look for someone with a strong portfolio, attention to detail, visual composition skills, communication skills, and the ability to meet deadlines. They should understand how to create designs that match your brand, support your marketing goals, and work across different formats.
You may also want experience with tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Figma, Canva, PowerPoint, CorelDRAW, or other design software, depending on your company’s workflow. The role page also mentions skills like brand identity, website design, product packaging, advertising, multimedia design, and the ability to give and receive constructive feedback.
A graphic designer can support a wide range of creative projects, including:
For growing companies, a full-time graphic designer can become the creative backbone of the marketing team, helping every campaign look more professional and consistent.
A graphic designer focuses on visual communication across brand, marketing, print, and digital materials. A web designer focuses specifically on the structure, layout, user experience, and visual design of websites.
There can be overlap, especially when a graphic designer creates website graphics, landing page visuals, or digital brand assets. However, if you need someone to design full website layouts, improve user flow, or work closely with developers, a web designer or UI/UX designer may be a better fit.
We help you find, vet, hire, and pay skilled graphic designers from Latin America. You tell us what kind of design support you need, whether that’s brand design, marketing graphics, web visuals, presentation design, or a more general creative role, and we’ll match you with pre-vetted candidates who fit your goals, budget, and time zone.
We handle the sourcing, screening, English assessments, interviews, onboarding support, payroll, and compliance, so you can focus on choosing the designer who feels like the right creative fit for your team. Schedule a call today to get started!
Design hiring extends well beyond brand and graphics. Physical spaces call for an Interior Designer or a Landscape Designer, while digital surfaces need a Web Designer or a Marketing Designer. Product shoots and 3D content are handled by a 3D Modeler and a Photo Editor. For interface and in-product copy, a UX Writer writes the microcopy that makes complex products usable.
The region has the perfect mix of everything you want in remote employees: English skills, shared time zones, hard-working, and depth of talent. They are already accustomed to working remotely for top US startups and Fortune 500 companies.
Absolutely! The US and Latin America have basically the same time zones. No Latin American city is more than two hours ahead of EST.
Every hire is sourced based on your exact needs. They will arrive ready to support your business right away. They can do basically any tasks done remotely, but we recommend starting them as support so your team has more bandwidth for high-value strategic tasks.
All types of roles - customer service, executive assistant, sales, accounting, email marketing, lead generation, content writers, operations, social media marketing, and more!
You can pay directly through us (most popular) or we can connect you with one of our payroll partners.
You don't have to deal with any American labor laws / taxes when hiring full-time remote contractors. They aren't US-based, so no visas or sponsorships to deal with either.
We recommend market pay which varies for each role. See our salary guide and success stories for some ideas.
Then, we have two different models:
Staffing (most popular) - We charge a small monthly fee for each employee's monthly salary to make the process hassle-free. The fee covers sourcing, recruiting, admin, payroll, compliance, ongoing support, and a free replacement if necessary at any point. There are no cancellation fees or minimum commitments. You only pay if you make a hire.
Headhunting - A one-time simple fee once we've found the perfect candidate. This comes with a 120-day replacement guarantee.
For both options, you only pay something if we find you someone great that you want to hire.
Yes, we only recruit for full-time and we strongly recommend full-time hiring if you can. Stability (full-time & long-term) is highly sought after abroad. The top caliber candidates are only looking for full-time work.
You're also going to spend time training and getting them up to speed on your processes. It would be a waste to do that over and over again with new people all the time.
We recommend training new hires on one thing at a time.
For example, once they get up to speed on lead generation, you can add the next role writing blog posts or whatever you'd like. You can definitely overlap roles until you have enough work for multiple people.
The cost of living is much less in Latin American countries. Many of our employees are able to own homes, raise families, provide for their parents, and have in-home help of their own with their salaries.
If you aren't happy with your hire in the first 120 days, we will work with you to conduct a second round of search for the same role for free.
