The Freelance Graphic Designer is responsible for creating production-ready visuals for Zimeo’s personalized gift products, such as canvases, posters, and blankets. You’ll work based on clear design briefs inside our system (Notion, Trello, Drive) and deliver structured files that are ready for printing. This is not a marketplace job – if you’re a good fit, you’ll receive steady weekly projects. The ideal candidate understands composition, layout, color, and hierarchy. You know how to structure Photoshop files properly, use smart objects, and follow naming conventions. You’re reliable, responsive, and open to feedback from our art direction team. Communication is mostly asynchronous, and our internal design training will guide you through all steps. This is a remote freelance position, paid hourly between $8–15 or PHP 470-880 depending on speed and quality. Most designers work between 10–25 hours per week.
Responsibilities
Creating Emotion-Driven Design Assets
- Design customized graphics for products like canvases, posters, and blankets based on emotional gift concepts.

- Balance creativity with brand consistency and production constraints.
Product Template & Mockup Development
- Build and adapt Photoshop or Illustrator templates for personalized products.
- Ensure smart objects, layer structures, and text placements are clean, editable, and efficient.
- Create high-quality mockups for storefronts, ad creatives, and product previews.
Process-Following & Task Execution
- Follow our internal Notion-based workflows and Trello cards to complete tasks step by step.
- Deliver assets fast and clean – minimize back-and-forth and avoid rework.
- Mark progress and status transparently in our system.
Fixing Errors & Bug Reports
- Independently review and fix design files when internal feedback reports issues (e.g. Language issues)
- Handle minor fixes without asking (e.g. missing masks, incorrect sizing, off-center elements)
- Be ready to retroactively update previous design lines when a template or design logic gets improved.
Creative Team Communication
- Attend check-in calls (if required) with team leads or Art Director.
- Give thoughtful input on how to improve templates, workflows, or new product ideas.
- Be responsive on Slack within reasonable timeframes during your work hours.
