Hello all, I'm new here. I run my freelance design practice under my name, and I also work full time for a company.
My title at the company is "Graphic Designer". I'm up for a title change: I'm taking up tasks beyond my title.

My role includes a few responsibilities
Key:
- Branding
- Poster, Print, Merch
- Digital/presentations/web design
- Digital

Other:
- Motion
- Research/write guides for company software
- Lead projects
- Web development

Any title suggestions? Thanks

I did a lot of the same that you have at that point - my title path went (same job, 10 years):

Graphic Designer
Lead Designer
Senior Designer
Art Director
Senior Art Director
Associate Creative Director

I actually had the same question for my current title a few weeks back - Fishbowlers suggested looking up LinkedIn profiles to see career paths and titles of other designers/executives. That may help you, especially if you have a specific goal or path in mind for yourself.

You’re very welcome! And congrats on the title change (hopefully includes a promotion 💵 too!) 🙏💪✊

Senior Designer?

Thank you for the suggestion but in corporate hierarchy it doesn't work that way.

The creative lead is the one who envisions the brand, based on everyone's creative exploration. So having two creative leads, leads to a bit of chaos about who to direct the creative.

She called back said it was handled and I would indeed get it next week with my regular check. 30 minutes later…boss called back and says that HR did some digging and found that I’m not eligible. Who’s hiring?
