Graphic designers for salons, clinics, real estate companies, restaurants and lifestyle brands in Dubai that need visuals every week, not once a year. The graphic designer keeps the brand consistent across social media, price lists, brochures, signage, presentations and ads, in English and often in Arabic or Russian. We assess candidates with a design brief based on your brand and a review of the files behind their portfolio.
Hire a graphic designerLooking for a job?A graphic designer who works fast inside your brand guidelines, delivers print-ready and social-ready files and does not need three rounds to understand a brief.
A portfolio can include team work, templates or student projects. The checks show what the candidate does alone, how fast and how they handle feedback.
Typical hiring mistake: hiring a social media manager who "also designs", or a designer who is expected to plan and run the accounts. Both jobs suffer. How it differs from neighbours: a marketing manager decides what to promote and where; a social media manager plans and publishes; the graphic designer produces the visuals for every channel, online and in print.

A freelancer works for a logo, a one-off brochure or a few posts a month. An in-house designer makes sense when you need new visuals every week for social media, offers, price lists and print, or run several brands or branches. Whichever you choose, keep the source files and the brand guide in your company's storage.
