Senior Brand Identity Designer (Freelance, Remote, Project-Based)

I'm Natalie Micale Schultz, a brand and growth strategist based in the U.S. I lead strategy and creative direction for small and mid-sized companies, and I'm building a short roster of senior designers to partner with on rebrands.
The projects are real businesses that have outgrown how they look. Think established local service companies ready for a brand that matches the quality of their work. I bring the strategy, positioning, and creative direction. You bring the craft.
This is gig work, one project at a time. It is not a part-time or hourly role. Designers who are a fit can expect repeat projects.
What you'll do
Design full identity systems: logo suite, color, typography, and brand guidelines.
Apply the identity to real-world pieces such as vehicles, signage, uniforms, social, and web.
Present 2 to 3 distinct directions from a creative brief, then refine one.
Deliver clean, organized, editable files.
What I'm looking for
6+ years in brand identity, with at least 3 complete identity projects for real clients.
A portfolio that shows your thinking, not only the final logo.
Comfortable written and spoken English.
Fluent in Adobe Illustrator and Figma.
At least 3 hours of overlap with U.S. Central time.
Reliable with deadlines and easy to give feedback to.
How it works
Freelance gig work. One flat fee per project, paid in USD. No hourly billing.
Finalists do a 20 minute portfolio walkthrough call. Your first project starts with a small paid milestone.
You work directly with me. No agency layers.
Location: Remote. Latin America and Ukraine preferred.
Pay: Flat fee per project, typically $1,200 to $2,000 USD for a full small-business identity. Scope and fee agreed before work starts. Other projects are scoped based on what the client needs.
