Graphic Designer (Photoshop/Illustrator)

About AXIS Media Group

AXIS Media Group is an Australian-based digital marketing and media agency. We produce high-quality creative assets for our clients across social media, advertising, branding, and digital campaigns. Design is central to everything we do — it shapes how our clients’ brands are perceived, and we take that seriously.

We are looking for a skilled freelance Graphic Designer based in the Philippines who can work with us on an ongoing basis. If you are someone who lives and breathes design, knows Adobe Photoshop inside out, and can produce polished, professional work consistently, we want to hear from you.

The Role

As a freelance Graphic Designer for AXIS Media Group, you will be creating a range of visual assets for client campaigns, social media, advertising, and brand projects. You will receive briefs through ClickUp, communicate with the team via Slack, and use Claude as an AI assistant to support your workflow where relevant. Your work will represent our clients publicly, so quality, consistency, and attention to detail are non-negotiable.

Software Requirements

You must have your own licensed access to the full Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Premiere Pro. This is a hard requirement — not optional. We do not provide software licences for freelance positions.

• Adobe Photoshop — expert level (primary tool for this role)
• Adobe Illustrator — strong proficiency for vector work and logos
• Adobe InDesign — for layouts, decks, and multi-page documents
• Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects — advantageous for motion/video assets
• Canva — for collaboration and quick assets.
• ClickUp — for receiving project briefs, managing tasks, and tracking deliverables
• Slack — for day-to-day communication with the AXIS team
• Claude — AI assistant used to support workflow, research, and brief interpretation

Key Responsibilities

• Design social media graphics, ad creatives, banners, and digital assets to brief
• Produce brand-consistent visuals across multiple client accounts with varying style guides
• Retouch and manipulate photography and imagery to a high professional standard in Photoshop
• Create print-ready and web-ready files in the correct formats and resolutions
• Design marketing collateral including flyers, brochures, presentations, and one-pagers
• Receive and interpret creative briefs through ClickUp and deliver to agreed timelines
• Communicate proactively via Slack — flag questions early, provide progress updates, and meet deadlines
• Incorporate feedback promptly and professionally without compromising quality
• Maintain well-organised, clearly labelled file structures for handoff and archiving
• Use Claude as an assistant tool to support brief interpretation, copy suggestions, and ideation where relevant

Skills & Requirements

Essential:
• Expert-level Adobe Photoshop skills — this is the core tool for this role
• Own licensed access to the full Adobe Creative Suite
• Strong graphic design fundamentals: typography, colour theory, layout, and composition
• Experience designing for digital platforms (social media, digital ads, web)
• A sharp eye for detail — you notice the small things that make design look polished
• Ability to work across multiple brand styles and adapt your aesthetic to suit each client
• Organised and reliable — you meet deadlines and communicate clearly when you cannot
• Comfortable working in English — reading briefs, communicating with the team, and understanding feedback
• Comfortable using ClickUp for task management and Slack for communication
• Willing to use Claude as a workflow assistant where prompted

Advantageous (not required but a bonus):
• Experience with motion graphics or video editing (After Effects or Premiere Pro)
• UI/UX or web design experience
• Experience working with Australian brands or agencies
• Social media content design experience (Reels covers, Stories, carousel posts, etc.)
• Brand identity and logo design experience

Who We Are Looking For

We want a designer who takes genuine pride in their craft. Someone who understands that a well-executed design is more than just visual — it communicates, persuades, and builds trust. If you find yourself noticing kerning issues on signs or instinctively reaching for Photoshop to fix a poorly cropped image, you’re our kind of person.
This is a freelance position, so you will need to be self-directed and reliable. We are not looking for someone who needs to be chased for updates. We want a professional who manages their own workload, communicates proactively, and consistently delivers work that makes our clients look great.

How to Apply

To be considered, please include the following in your application:
• Msg via W h a t s a p p ( ---------- )
• Your updated resume
• A portfolio of your design work — links to examples or a PDF showcase (required)
• Confirmation that you have licensed access to the full Adobe Creative Suite
• A brief note (3–5 sentences) on your design background and why you’re a great fit for this role
• Your availability and typical turnaround times
