About the Role
Great Stone Dragon is a collectible fantasy pin business, and I am looking for a long-term Creative Brand, Social Media & Design Assistant to join my team.
I already have an assistant who works with me on an ongoing basis, and I am looking to add another creative person because the workload of the business has increased. I also want someone who can bring fresh ideas, creativity, and a new perspective to help continue building Great Stone Dragon into a stronger and more recognizable brand.
This role is not limited to completing individual graphics. I am looking for someone who can become familiar with the business, understand my design preferences, contribute ideas, support social media, and help expand the overall brand identity across different areas of the business.
The workload may vary from week to week depending on launches, events, presales, product announcements, social media needs, and other business activities.
Because of this, I am looking for someone who is comfortable with a flexible ongoing weekly arrangement rather than someone who requires a strict project by project structure.
Compensation
This position pays a flat rate of $60 USD per week.
The workload may vary depending on what is happening within the business.
Some weeks may be lighter, while launch weeks, events, or busy sales periods may require additional creative support.
I am specifically looking for someone who is comfortable with this type of flexible weekly arrangement.
Design Software Experience Required
Strong experience with the following platforms is important for this role:
Canva
Canva will be one of the primary platforms used for recurring business and social media materials.
You should be comfortable with:
• Creating polished and professional Canva designs
• Working within existing Canva templates
• Creating reusable templates
• Organizing design files properly
• Resizing designs for different platforms
• Updating product images, dates, prices, and launch information
• Using brand fonts, colors, graphics, and logos consistently
• Creating social posts, stories, flyers, and promotional graphics
• Building templates that can easily be reused later
Adobe Illustrator
You should also have experience using Adobe Illustrator, especially for more advanced design needs.
This may include:
• Vector graphics
• Packaging layouts
• Print ready artwork
• Product collateral
• Custom graphic elements
• Adjusting or creating brand assets
• Preparing artwork for professional printing
• Working with existing vector files
Adobe Express
Experience with Adobe Express is also preferred for fast turnaround creative assets, resizing, social graphics, and other marketing content.
You should be comfortable moving between Canva, Illustrator, and Adobe Express depending on what the project requires.
Social Media Experience
I am also looking for someone who is comfortable with social media and content creation, especially Instagram.
This role will involve helping develop a more cohesive and recognizable social media presence for Great Stone Dragon.
You should understand:
• Instagram feed design
• Instagram Stories
• Reel covers
• Product launch content
• Promotional graphics
• Giveaway posts
• Engagement focused content
• Brand consistency across social posts
• How to create visually appealing content for a product based business
• How different posts work together as part of an overall feed
A major goal is to move away from every post looking unrelated and instead create a recognizable system where someone can tell that a post belongs to Great Stone Dragon before even seeing the username.
I would also love someone who can suggest new content ideas, layouts, social media concepts, and ways to improve brand awareness.
Helping Build the Brand
This is one of the most important parts of the role.
I am not only looking for someone who can make graphics when I tell them exactly what to create.
I want someone who can help me continue developing and building out the Great Stone Dragon brand.
You should be comfortable looking at an existing brand guide and finding new ways to expand it while keeping the identity consistent.
This may include helping develop:
• New social media concepts
• Recurring content series
• Brand templates
• Packaging ideas
• Customer experience materials
• Event branding
• Promotional materials
• Website graphics
•
• Print materials
• Product presentation ideas
• Ways to make the brand more recognizable
• New creative applications of existing brand elements
I want someone who thinks beyond the individual assignment and considers how each design contributes to the overall brand.
Current Brand Direction
Great Stone Dragon already has an established professional brand identity.
I am not looking for a complete rebrand or a new logo.
Instead, you will be helping expand and refine the existing identity.
The current direction is:
• Sophisticated
• Simplified
• Elevated
• Premium
• Collectible
• Whimsical
• Polished
• Recognizable
The brand primarily uses burgundy, gold, ivory, and navy along with established dragon imagery, clouds, decorative details, patterns, and other elements included in the existing brand guide.
A significant portion of my current social media still reflects my older branding, so I am now transitioning toward a much stronger and more consistent use of the new brand identity.
Types of Projects
Projects may include:
Social Media
• Instagram posts
• Product launch graphics
• Presale announcements
• In hand sale graphics
• Restock announcements
• Coming soon posts
• Production updates
• Collection spotlights
• Instagram Stories
• Reel covers
• Giveaways
• Event announcements
• Informational graphics
• Promotional content
• Website announcements
Packaging & Print
• Pin backing cards
• Thank you cards
• Business cards
• Order inserts
• Pin care cards
• Collector cards
• Sticker designs
• Packaging concepts
• Mailer designs
• Tissue paper
• Packaging seals
• Box inserts
• Event signage
• Vendor materials
• QR code signs
• Promotional cards
Digital Branding
• Website banners
• Homepage graphics
•
•
•
• Digital advertisements
• Product graphics
• Collection graphics
• Additional marketing materials
Not every week will involve every type of project. Tasks will depend on what the business currently needs.
Creative Independence
I am looking for someone who can work independently and does not require constant micromanagement.
I will provide direction, product information, brand materials, examples, and feedback, especially while you are learning my preferences.
However, I do not want to explain every design decision step by step.
For example, if I send you a product image and tell you that I need a launch graphic, I would like you to be able to:
• Review the brand guide
• Look at previous launches
• Understand the product
• Develop a creative concept
• Create a polished design
• Present ideas without requiring constant direction
Over time, I expect you to learn what I like, what I do not like, and what feels right for Great Stone Dragon.
The goal is for you to need less direction as you become more familiar with the brand.
Work Style
The ideal person is:
• Creative
• Proactive
• Independent
• Reliable
• Organized
• Detail oriented
• Responsive
• Comfortable receiving feedback
• Able to manage tasks without constant follow up
• Able to bring new ideas to the business
• Comfortable working with changing priorities
• Interested in learning the brand deeply
I want someone who can become a creative extension of the business rather than someone who only waits for detailed instructions.
Communication & Availability
You do not need to sit at your computer all day waiting for messages.
However, I do need someone who has good availability during Pacific Time (PST/PDT) and who can generally respond within approximately 30 minutes to one hour during their normal availability.
There may occasionally be:
• Last minute product updates
• Launch changes
• Event announcements
• Social media updates
• Flyer changes
• Website graphics
• Other time sensitive requests
Because of this, I am looking for someone who checks messages regularly and is reasonably available when needed.
Communication is primarily through WhatsApp, and read receipts should remain enabled so I can easily see when important messages have been received.
Flexible Weekly Workload
There is no identical workload every week.
The needs of a small product based business naturally fluctuate.
Some weeks may be quieter, while product launches, sales, or events may require additional work.
Because of this, I am looking for someone who is comfortable with a flexible workload under the $60 flat weekly arrangement rather than someone who requires an exact number of hours or a strict project scope for every assignment.
If you prefer highly structured working hours or only project based freelance work, this position may not be the right fit.
Materials Provided
You will receive access to:
• Great Stone Dragon brand guide
• Logos
• Brand fonts
• Brand colors
• Patterns and graphic elements
• Existing Canva templates
• Previous social media posts
• Existing packaging examples
• Product photography
• Launch materials
• Business collateral
• Examples of designs I like
• Examples of designs I do not like
You will not be starting from scratch.
Ideal Experience
I am looking for someone with experience in:
• Canva
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Express
• Graphic design
• Social media design
• Instagram content
• Branding
• Brand development
• Ecommerce
• Product based businesses
• Packaging design
• Print collateral
• Editable templates
• Marketing graphics
Experience with collectibles, enamel pins, fandom brands, stationery, boutique ecommerce, luxury packaging, or similar businesses is a major plus.
What Success Looks Like
I want someone who eventually understands Great Stone Dragon well enough that I can send a general request and trust that you understand the direction.
You should be able to help me continue growing Great Stone Dragon into a recognizable collectible brand where everything feels connected, including:
• Social media
• Product launches
• Packaging
• Website graphics
• Events
• Customer orders
• Promotional materials
I am looking for someone who wants to grow with the business, contribute ideas, help strengthen the brand, and become a dependable long term member of the team.
