Whether you’re starting a graphic design business and need to find new graphic design clients fast, or you’re looking for more flexibility at your day job, remote graphic design jobs can offer the autonomy, creativity, and freedom you crave.

If flexibility is high your list of “must-haves” when searching for graphic design jobs, then look no further than FlexJobs. Their advanced filtering system allows you to see jobs that are 100% telecommute, contract/freelance/part-time, or just about any other filter you can think of. 

5. Fiverr

If you’re just getting started as a graphic designer, you may want to take a look at Fiverr. The aptly-named company that tops the category page of best freelance sites on G2 started as a marketplace of “five dollar” gigs, including – you guessed it – graphic design jobs.

6. LinkedIn

Since it’s one of the biggest professional communities on the Internet, it only makes sense that LinkedIn would have a robust job board where you can discover remote graphic design jobs. 

Add to that the fact that LinkedIn lets you filter by just about any criteria, and you’re bound to find the perfect remote design job in no time.

7. Freeeup

Freeeup is a marketplace similar to Upwork (mentioned above) but they offer a unique opportunity: they only accept a small percentage of freelancers who apply to their network.

By doing this, they are able to provide a higher standard of quality for clients who need graphic design work done which means their remote design jobs often pay more than sites like Upwork
