I’m a graphic designer with 3+ years of experience, mainly in branding and UI design. Now I'm exploring opportunities abroad. I’m curious about what companies usually look for when considering international candidates, like specific skills, certifications, or portfolio requirements. I’d also appreciate tips on where to find legitimate opportunities and how to avoid scams.

Thanks so much in advance for sharing your advice!

Language is generally the main one. That, and an understanding of the culture to some degree so that you know not only the dos and don’ts of designing in that country, but can also be relatable to your new audience.

Hey fishies! I’m looking to take a leap into the remote world. I am a Sr. Graphic designer and art director in Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦. I’m looking to take on more of an art director and creative director role, remotely. I can attach my website and a portfolio if anyone can help out.

I’m married with 2 kids so the more work the better.

Hi all
I started out as a graphic designer. Worked for about 4yrs in different roles. Then i started a digital design role for 2 yrs and then made my transition into ux. i have been in a ux role for 5 years. But i want to steer my career towards something more creative. Like in 5-10 years I wouldn’t want to be a specialist or a ux director. I d like to be an art director or creative director. I love branding & marketing but also product. Would love something that allows me to do both?
