Creative Graphic Designer – Something a Little Different
Part-Time | Clermont, FL | $20–$27/hour
We're looking for a creative person to help us bring a new project to life.
It's called Project Extraordinary, and the idea behind it is pretty simple. We want to encourage families to spend more time together, get out and have adventures, try things they wouldn't normally try, and make some great memories along the way.
We're still in the early stages, and there's lots we'd love to do. That's where you come in.
Ideally, we're looking for someone with a background in graphic design who has a good eye for detail, plenty of ideas, and a bit of an adventurous side.
Someone who enjoys being creative but also likes getting out, exploring new places, and doing things a little differently.
A few things we'd love to find in someone:
- Experience with graphic design, illustration, or creating digital content.
- A natural interest in family activities, adventures, and making memories.
- Someone who enjoys coming up with ideas and figuring out how to make them happen.
- An interest in social media and creating content people actually want to share.
- Someone who's happy to work independently but also enjoys bouncing ideas around.
- A positive attitude and a genuine interest in what we're trying to build.
The work will be a mixture of designing family challenges and digital products, creating social media content, brainstorming ideas, and helping us get Project Extraordinary out into the world.
There will be plenty of room to bring your own ideas to the table, too.
A little about the role:
We're based in Clermont and looking for someone for around 8–10 hours a week to start, with a mix of in-person and remote work.
Pay is $20–$27 per hour depending on experience, with opportunities for more hours and bonuses as things grow.
We're a small project with big ambitions, and we'd love to find someone who gets excited about the idea of helping families make more of their time together.
You don't need to have all the answers or a perfect résumé. We'd much rather find someone who's creative, enthusiastic, and genuinely interested in being involved.
If this sounds like your sort of thing, we'd love to hear a little about you, see some of your work, and find out what caught your interest.
If this sounds like your sort of thing, we'd love to hear from you!
Drop us a little message about yourself, along with your Instagram handle, a portfolio, or anything creative you've worked on in the past. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. We'd just love to get a feel for your style, your ideas, and what you enjoy creating.
Pay: $20.00 - $27.00 per hour
Expected hours: 6.0 – 12.0 per week
Benefits:
- Flexible schedule

Tips for Your Lead Creative Designer Job Search
Tailor your portfolio to the industry
Lead creative designer roles in retail demand different work than those in tech or entertainment. Curate your portfolio so the first three pieces match the industry of the role you're applying to, not just your strongest work overall.
Show leadership through your case studies
Hiring managers for lead roles want proof you've directed other creatives, not just executed well. Document how you briefed junior designers, resolved creative conflicts, or shepherded a campaign from concept to final delivery.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists lead creative designer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Name your tools explicitly on your resume
Applicant tracking systems screen for specific software like Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or After Effects. Don't assume your portfolio implies proficiency. List every relevant tool by name in a dedicated skills section so your application clears the initial filter.
Prepare a creative brief walkthrough for interviews
Many lead creative designer interviews include a live brief exercise or a request to walk through how you approach one. Practice narrating your decision-making aloud, covering strategy, stakeholder input, and how you pushed back on weak direction.
Negotiate scope alongside salary
Lead creative roles vary widely in whether you manage a team, own a budget, or have final say on creative direction. Before accepting, clarify reporting structure and creative autonomy in writing, not just compensation, so the role matches what you were hired to do.
Lead Creative Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most lead creative designers?
Meta, Exhibitus, and Unrivaled Teamwear are hiring the most lead creative designers right now, with openings concentrated in California, New York, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Industries with the highest volume include consumer brands, retail, and digital media companies.
How many lead creative designer jobs are remote?
About 63% of lead creative designer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the role's reliance on digital collaboration tools. Sub-specializations in digital campaign design and UX-focused creative direction tend to have the highest share of remote-eligible postings compared to roles requiring on-site studio or production work.
How do you become a lead creative designer?
Start by building a strong foundation in graphic design or a related discipline, then accumulate several years of hands-on work producing brand, campaign, or digital experience projects. Move into positions where you mentor junior creatives or own a creative workstream. Build a portfolio that shows both executional quality and strategic thinking, then target roles with explicit leadership responsibilities.
Can you get a lead creative designer job with little experience?
Moving directly into a lead role with little experience is difficult because employers expect proof of creative direction and team leadership, not just strong design output. The most effective path is to take on informal leadership within your current role, volunteer to mentor teammates, or lead a freelance project end-to-end so you have a concrete example of guiding a creative process rather than just executing within one.
What does the lead creative designer interview process look like?
Most processes start with a recruiter screen, followed by a portfolio review with a creative director or hiring manager who will ask you to walk through your decision-making on specific projects. A design exercise or brief challenge is common at the mid-stage. Final rounds typically involve meeting cross-functional stakeholders such as marketing or product leads and sometimes a presentation to demonstrate how you would approach a real creative problem the team is facing.
Where can I find and apply to lead creative designer jobs?
You can find and apply to lead creative designer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your experience and specialization, and apply directly to each listing that fits.
