How much does a remote graphic designer cost?

We place designers at $1,800 to $2,500 a month full time. The same hire in the United States averages about $68,000 a year in salary, and interface designers cost more in both markets.

Is a full-time designer cheaper than freelancers?

Usually, once you are commissioning work most weeks. Freelance rates price in the gaps between projects, so steady volume is exactly where a full-time hire wins. Occasional one-off work is the case where freelance still makes sense.

Can they work in our brand system?

Yes, and it is worth handing over the brand file, the fonts and a few examples of approved work in week one. Designers who inherit a clear system produce on-brand work far sooner.

Do they do video as well?

Many do short-form editing and motion, and plenty do not. It is a separate skill, so put it in the brief if you need it rather than assuming it comes with the role.

How to screen a designer

1
Judge the portfolio against your work, not in general
A beautiful editorial portfolio does not mean the person can make a performing ad set. Look for work that resembles what you will actually ask for.
2
Ask about the brief behind a piece
What was the constraint, what did the client want changed, what did they do about it. Designers who can only talk about aesthetics are hard to direct.
3
Give a small paid test with a real brief
Two or three hours, paid, with a deliberately imperfect brief. How they ask questions tells you what working with them will be like.
4
Confirm the tools and the file discipline
Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud and increasingly Canva for volume work. Ask how they name and hand off files, because inheriting a chaotic design library costs real time later.
