Common Questions About Hiring a Filipino Graphic Designer

How much does a Filipino graphic designer cost per hour?+
Filipino graphic designers on FilAm cost $6–$12/hr depending on specialization. Full-time at 40 hours/week, that's $960–$1,920/month - compared to $3,500–$7,000 for a comparable US hire.
What timezone do Filipino graphic designers work in?+
Filipino designers work in Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8). Design work is highly async-compatible - briefs, revisions, and deliverables are exchanged via Figma, email, or Slack regardless of timezone. Most clients receive updated files within 24 hours of submitting feedback.
Can a Filipino designer build a full brand identity from scratch?+
Yes. FilAm's senior designers handle full brand identity projects: logo design, brand style guide, color and typography systems, and application across collateral. Mid-level designers are best suited for asset production from an existing brand guide.
How do I give feedback on design revisions remotely?+
Most FilAm designers use Figma comments, Loom videos, or annotated screenshots for revision feedback. Asynchronous feedback works well: leave detailed notes and your designer returns updated files within 24 hours.
