Freelance Graphic Designer (Part-Time, Remote)

About the role

AvantStay, a venture-funded short-term rental group experience platform, is hiring a part-time, freelance Graphic Designer to bring its brand to life across guest touchpoints, from social ads to hotel-opening materials. The role is remote, about 10-20 hours a week, and suits a designer comfortable going from a quick Instagram story to a full brand identity for a new hotel.

Key responsibilities

• Design marketing collateral for organic and paid social, digital ads and email, from concept to final assets sized for every placement
• Design landing pages and pop-ups with marketing and web teammates
• Create brand identities for new hotels, including logos, colour and type systems and launch toolkits
• Design wayfinding, signage, in-room print, menus and other on-property materials, preparing production-ready files for vendors
• Develop branded merchandise and swag, such as welcome kits and partner gifts, and manage proofs with suppliers
• Produce event banners, step-and-repeats and print pieces for openings and activations
• Use AI tools to speed up ideation, mood boards, image generation and editing
• Maintain on-brand Canva templates, brand guidelines and an asset library
• Work with content, performance and PR teammates on campaign launches tied to seasonal travel moments, new destinations and hotel openings

Required profile

• 3+ years of graphic design experience, ideally in hospitality, travel, lifestyle or a premium consumer brand
• A portfolio showing digital marketing creative alongside print, environmental or packaging work; hotel or property branding is a big plus
• Fluent in Canva, expert-level Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and Figma
• Print production knowledge: bleeds, dielines, colour profiles, large-format specs, and direct work with printers and fabricators
• Daily hands-on use of AI design tools with good judgment on what is brand-ready
• Strong eye for typography and premium hospitality brands, able to handle several projects and tight deadlines
• Near-native written and spoken English, availability for some overlap with US business hours (Pacific, Central or Eastern time)
• Open to global candidates outside the United States; fully remote

What we offer

• Freelance contract, 10-20 hours per week, at $15-20 USD per hour depending on location and experience
• Fully remote work from anywhere
