Social Media Creative Designer
I do visual design for social media — Instagram, Telegram channels, marketplace product cards. Work usually starts not with one post but with a system: 6–10 templates in a consistent style that the client or their SMM manager can then fill with text themselves in Canva or Figma. That's cheaper and more predictable than ordering every post individually. I keep up with the right proportions for each platform — square, 9:16 stories, carousels — and try not to overload a layout with text that's already duplicated in the caption anyway. I work in Figma and Adobe Photoshop; stock photos only come with a verified license, otherwise I replace them with illustrations or 3D renders I build myself. I can adapt an existing brand identity for social media or propose a light redesign if the old layouts look visually dated. I don't shoot or retouch real product photography — that needs a separate photographer or retoucher, which is what I usually recommend in the brief. A comfortable order is a package of 8–12 templates with source files.
