Nearshore graphic designers from Latin America deliver professional brand, digital, and marketing design at 40–60% below US rates with real-time collaboration during US business hours. Kore BPO places vetted candidates in 2–5 business days with $0 upfront fees.
Latin American designers combine strong visual training with fluency in the tools US teams depend on daily.
Logo systems, brand guidelines, typography selection, color palette development, and brand identity packages for startups and established companies.
Web graphics, UI mockups, landing page design, social media assets, email templates, and digital ad creative using Figma, Adobe XD, and Sketch.
Brochures, pitch decks, trade show materials, product packaging, infographics, and campaign assets in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign.
Consistent branded templates across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok. Reels thumbnails, story graphics, and carousel post designs.
Animated logo reveals, motion graphics for video, explainer animations, and social video bumpers using After Effects and Premiere Pro.
Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects), Figma, Canva Pro, Procreate, and collaboration tools like Notion and Asana.
The nearshore model solves the collaboration problem that frustrates US teams hiring offshore designers across a 10–12 hour time gap.
0–2 hour difference means your nearshore designer is online during your morning standups, available for real-time Figma feedback, and can turn revisions around the same business day.
A senior US graphic designer costs $75,000–$105,000 per year in fully-loaded comp. A nearshore equivalent from Colombia or Costa Rica runs $30,000–$52,000 with comparable portfolio quality.
Designers from Costa Rica, Colombia, and Mexico consistently rank among the highest for English proficiency in Latin America. Design briefs, feedback loops, and creative reviews run without friction.
Latin American countries produce thousands of design graduates annually from programs aligned with international industry standards. Candidates arrive portfolio-ready with real commercial experience.
Kore BPO handles employment contracts, local labor law compliance, benefits, and payroll in Costa Rica and Colombia so you avoid the risk of independent contractor misclassification.
If a placed designer does not meet your standards within 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost. You retain leverage without the legal exposure of a direct hire you need to exit.
Our five-step process delivers a screened shortlist faster than a traditional recruiter can post a job listing.
We learn your design stack, style preferences, team size, and workload type. This shapes the candidate profile so we are not sending generalists when you need a brand specialist.
Our recruiters in Costa Rica and Colombia filter candidates by portfolio quality, tool proficiency, English level, and availability. We do not pull from job boards.
You receive 2–3 shortlisted profiles with portfolios, work samples, and interviewer notes. No bulk submissions. Every candidate has been pre-screened by our team.
You interview your top choice, review a paid design test if desired, and make the call. We coordinate scheduling across time zones and facilitate any technical screens.
Kore BPO employs the designer locally and handles all compliance, benefits, and payroll. You manage the work. We manage the employment relationship.
From generalist designers to motion specialists, we staff the full range of creative roles your marketing and product teams need.
Develops comprehensive visual identity systems including logos, style guides, and brand standards for US companies scaling their brand presence.
Creates wireframes, mockups, and interactive prototypes in Figma for web and mobile products, collaborating closely with product and engineering teams.
Executes campaign visuals, social graphics, email templates, and paid ad creative to support marketing teams running digital channels.
Produces animated content, explainer videos, logo animations, and social video graphics using After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Lottie.
Senior-level creative lead overseeing visual output quality, managing junior designers, and aligning creative direction with brand strategy and business goals.
Designs product packaging, trade show materials, print collateral, and physical brand touchpoints using InDesign, Illustrator, and industry print production standards.
Kore BPO places graphic designers primarily from Costa Rica, Colombia, and Mexico. These countries combine strong design school programs, high English proficiency, and 0–2 hour time zone overlap with US teams, making real-time collaboration possible throughout the standard US workday.
Kore BPO delivers your first shortlisted profiles with portfolios in 2–5 business days. Most clients complete interviews within a week of receiving the shortlist and have their designer starting within 2–3 weeks of the initial call.
Nearshore graphic designers we place are proficient in the full Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects), Figma, Canva Pro, and collaboration platforms like Notion, Asana, and Slack. We match candidates to your specific stack requirements during the discovery call.
Nearshore graphic designers from Latin America typically cost 40–60% less than a US-based equivalent. A senior brand designer in the US runs $85,000–$110,000 annually. A nearshore equivalent from Colombia or Costa Rica with comparable portfolio quality runs $32,000–$54,000. Kore BPO charges $0 upfront fees and provides a transparent all-in rate.
Yes. Latin America's 0–2 hour time zone difference means nearshore designers are available for morning standups, real-time Slack communication, and same-day revision turnaround. This is the primary advantage over offshore hiring from India or the Philippines, which typically involves a 10–12 hour time gap.
Kore BPO includes a 90-day replacement guarantee on all nearshore placements. If a designer does not meet expectations within the first 90 days, we replace them at no additional cost to you.
“We hired a nearshore brand designer from Kore BPO to handle our rebrand and she delivered every phase on time. Being in the same time zone made the feedback cycles genuinely fast. The quality matched what we had seen from US agencies at a fraction of the cost.”
