Westland, MI – On-Site at BuzzWire Media & PodLab Studios
$19–$23/hour to start (higher for top-tier portfolios)
Part-time (20–30 hrs/week) — Grow into Full-Time Lead Role
About the Role
We’re BuzzWire Media and PodLab Studios — two creative brands making noise in Metro Detroit. We’re hiring a Graphic Designer who’s also confident juggling light admin, content, and client tasks.
This role is hands-on, creative, and evolving. You’ll design branding for real businesses, work with local creators, support in-studio productions, and help grow our in-house marketing.
If you’re a designer first — but also flexible, organized, and have sharp instincts — this is your playground.
Workload Breakdown (Estimated)
55% – Graphic Design & Content Creation (logos, decks, social, flyers, brand assets)
Why You’ll Want This Job
Real Growth: Start part-time, grow into a $26–$28/hr Lead Designer within 12–18 months
Creative Freedom: Work on branding, campaigns, content, and more
Free Studio Access: Use the space for your own creative work outside of hours
Chill Culture: We value quality, speed, and a drama-free team
Visibility: Your work will be seen by thousands across brands, platforms, and clients
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
Has 1+ years of professional design experience (not just passion projects)
Is fluent in Adobe Illustrator — this is non-negotiable
Understands typography, layout, branding systems, and visual identity
Can work in Photoshop, InDesign, and other Creative Cloud tools
Manages content via Later, Hootsuite, or Buffer
Can communicate clearly with clients, in person and online
Bonus: Shopify, WordPress, or light video editing skills are a plus
Your portfolio is mainly anime, hand-drawn cartoons, or 3D animation
You don’t understand traditional graphic design principles (typography, grid systems, brand consistency)
You’re entirely “self-taught” without client-ready branding examples
You aren’t fluent in Adobe Illustrator
You’re looking for remote work — this is an on-site position in Westland, MI
Starting Pay: $19–$23/hour
Growth Path: Up to $26–$28/hour within 12–18 months as Lead Designer
Hours: 20–30/week to start (flexible weekday shifts, no weekends)
Location: On-site only — Westland, MI
