Everything you need to know about hiring and managing offshore Visual Designer professionals for your team.
Looking to hire a Visual Designer? Let's talk!
Here’s something that keeps creative directors up at night: you need stunning visuals that capture your brand perfectly, but finding and managing design talent feels like running a second business. Between reviewing portfolios, negotiating rates, and juggling multiple freelancers for different projects, you’re spending more time managing than strategizing. Look, we get it. Your competitors are pumping out fresh campaigns while you’re still trying to coordinate feedback rounds with designers across different time zones.
Why Philippines-Based Visual Designers Make Perfect Sense
The reality is, the Philippines has become this incredible hub for creative talent. And we’re not just talking about people who know Photoshop. These are visual designers who understand Western aesthetics, work with global brands daily, and speak fluent design language (and actual English, of course). They’re trained in the same design principles your local talent uses, familiar with brand guidelines from Fortune 500 companies, and they’ve been creating for US, UK, Australian, and Canadian markets for years. The best part? They’re awake when you’re asleep, which means your design work literally happens around the clock. You brief them at 5 PM, and boom, fresh concepts are waiting in your inbox the next morning.
What makes these designers particularly valuable is their exposure to diverse creative challenges. They’re not just pushing pixels around. They understand conversion optimization, know how to design for different cultural contexts, and can switch between minimalist Scandinavian aesthetics and bold American campaigns without missing a beat. Plus, they’re up to date with international design standards and accessibility requirements like WCAG 2.1, ensuring your visuals work for everyone, everywhere.

What Your Dedicated Visual Designer Actually Does
Think about everything visual your brand touches. Website graphics, social media campaigns, email templates, presentation decks, digital ads, print materials, brand guidelines, infographics, and probably a dozen other things you haven’t even thought of yet. A dedicated visual designer from KamelBPO becomes your go-to person for all of it. Not a different freelancer for each project, not someone you have to re-brief every time. This is your designer who learns your brand voice, understands your audience, and knows exactly why you hate that particular shade of blue.
- Brand consistency across all touchpoints: From LinkedIn posts to landing pages, everything looks cohesive
- Rapid iteration and testing: A/B test designs, refine based on data, and optimize for conversions
- Full creative toolkit mastery: Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Sketch, After Effects, whatever your workflow needs
- Strategic design thinking: Not just making things pretty but solving business problems through visual communication
Your designer integrates with your existing team seamlessly. They join your Slack channels, hop on video calls, use your project management tools, and become as much a part of your creative process as anyone sitting in your office. According to recent research, companies with dedicated design resources produce 200% more marketing content than those relying on ad-hoc solutions. That’s not just more content. That’s more opportunities to connect with your audience.
The Real Impact on Your Business
When you have a dedicated visual designer handling your creative needs, something interesting happens. Your marketing team stops being bottlenecked by design delays. Your product team can actually test those UI improvements they’ve been talking about. Your sales team gets the custom pitch decks they need, when they need them. Suddenly, design isn’t the constraint anymore. It’s the enabler.
Cost-wise, you’re looking at significant savings compared to local talent. We’re talking about getting senior-level design expertise at a fraction of what you’d pay in New York or London. But here’s what really matters: predictability. One monthly cost, one dedicated professional, unlimited design requests. No more surprise invoices from freelancers. No more paying rush fees because you forgot to book someone in advance.According to We Are Amnet’s 2023 Creative Production Benchmark Report, agencies expect to save between 40% and 60% on tasks such as retouching (56%) and artwork (52%) when leveraging offshore creative production services.1.
Making It Work Smoothly
The secret to success with an outsourced visual designer isn’t complicated. It starts with clear communication and proper onboarding. Share your brand guidelines, past work you love, and examples of what you don’t want. Your KamelBPO designer will soak it all up like a sponge. Set up regular check-ins, maybe a weekly creative review where you go through upcoming projects and provide feedback on work in progress. Use tools like Loom for quick video feedback when written comments just won’t cut it.
Time zones actually become your superpower once you figure out the rhythm. Brief your designer before you leave the office, wake up to initial concepts, provide feedback over your morning coffee, and see revisions by lunch. It’s like having a 24-hour creative department without the overhead. And because they’re dedicated to your account full-time, they develop that intuitive understanding of your brand that freelancers never quite achieve.
Getting started with a dedicated visual designer through KamelBPO means finally having the creative firepower to execute all those ideas gathering dust in your strategy documents. You know, the campaigns you’d love to run if only you had the design resources. The website refresh that keeps getting pushed to next quarter. The social media presence that could be so much stronger with consistent, professional visuals. This is your chance to stop treating design as a luxury and start using it as the business growth tool it really is. Your competitors are already doing it. The question isn’t whether you need better design support. It’s how quickly you can get started.
