Get a full-time, senior graphic designer from Latin America, embedded in your team at $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in. Working your hours, month-to-month, with nothing owed until you hire.
TRUSTED BY MARKETING AGENCIES ACROSS THE U.S.
Design is never a one-time project. A growing brand needs a steady flow of it: social creative, ad variations, landing pages, decks, one-pagers, email, and the small brand fixes that pile up every week. A freelancer can handle a burst, but consistent, on-brand design at volume needs a dedicated designer who lives inside your brand. Hiring that person full-time in the US is expensive; hiring a senior graphic designer from Latin America, embedded in your team, gives you the same output for far less, working your hours.
A senior graphic designer owns your visual output across channels: social and ad creative, landing-page and web visuals, presentation and pitch decks, marketing collateral, email design, and the day-to-day brand consistency that keeps everything looking like you. The good ones work fast without cutting corners, take a brief and improve on it, and hold your brand system so every asset feels part of one whole rather than a pile of one-offs.
Design runs on feedback loops: brief, draft, revise, ship. Those loops close fastest when your designer is online when you are. A nearshore designer from Latin America works US hours, joins your standups, and turns a revision around the same day rather than overnight, which is why nearshore beats offshore for creative work, as we explain in nearshore vs offshore staffing. You get a senior designer, five-plus years deep, screened for 8+/10 English, at $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in, which is 60 to 70% under the fully loaded US cost of the same role.

Tell us your brand, your tools, and the kind of work you need. We source and vet from our Latin American network, screening for five-plus years of relevant experience and 8+/10 English fluency, and hand you a shortlist in about 10 business days, portfolios included. You interview and choose. We handle employment, compliance, contracts, and cross-border payments, so you manage the designer like any team member. It is month-to-month, nothing is owed until you hire, and every placement includes a full 30/60/90 onboarding arc and a free replacement in the first 90 days. It is the same embedded model behind outsourced marketing and marketing staff augmentation.
Hire one when design requests are backing up faster than anyone can clear them; when your brand looks inconsistent because different people are making assets ad hoc; when marketing campaigns wait on creative; or when a founder or generalist is designing in Canva at night because there is no one else. If design is a constant need rather than an occasional one, a dedicated designer keeps everything moving and on-brand, and the nearshore model makes that hire affordable.
How much does it cost to hire a graphic designer?
Through Talent Scout, a full-time embedded senior graphic designer from Latin America costs $3,500 to $4,500 per month, all-in, which is 60 to 70% under the fully loaded US cost of the same role. A full-time US designer typically runs $70,000 to $110,000 a year before benefits.
What does a graphic designer do?
They own your visual output across channels: social and ad creative, web and landing-page visuals, decks, collateral, email design, and day-to-day brand consistency, taking briefs and turning them into on-brand assets at volume.
Should I hire a full-time graphic designer or use a freelancer?
Freelancers suit occasional projects, but steady, on-brand design at volume needs a dedicated designer who knows your brand system. A full-time embedded hire gives you that continuity at a cost close to what heavy freelance use runs anyway.
How fast can I hire one?
Talent Scout delivers a vetted shortlist with portfolios in about 10 business days, and placements are month-to-month with no fee until you hire.
