remote senior graphic designer. employee benefits, made clear.

benefits are complicated. the design shouldn't be.

Employee benefits marketing has a strange job. It has to make a product feel simple to an employee who has never read a plan summary, credible to a broker who has read thousands, and worth the budget to an HR leader who answers to a CFO. Same product. Three readers. Usually one deadline.

That is the room I have worked in every day since July 2019. As Senior Graphic Designer and Digital Media Content Creator at New Benefits in Dallas-Fort Worth, I design and produce marketing for a B2B2C benefits platform that speaks to brokers, employers, employees, associations, and universities at once. Before that, I spent decades running Bluejacket Creative, a studio I founded in 1994, and served more than ten years as a U.S. Navy Mass Communication Specialist. Clarity under pressure is not a slogan for me. It is muscle memory.

I am considering remote Senior Graphic Designer roles with insurance carriers, benefits administrators, benefits technology companies, and the teams that market them.

what I do for a benefits marketing team

high-volume, on-brand production

Benefits marketing runs on volume: enrollment campaigns, partner co-brands, product one-sheets, email headers, social graphics, webinar decks, landing page assets, trade show materials. I build systems that let that volume stay consistent, with templates, component libraries, and file structures a whole team can use without breaking the brand.

multi-audience messaging, visually

A broker needs commissions, compliance, and product comparisons. An employer needs cost, administration, and retention. An employee needs to know what to click and why it matters to their family. I design distinct visual tracks for each audience while keeping one recognizable brand underneath, so a co-branded association flyer and a university enrollment email still read as the same company.

motion graphics and video

Explainer video is one of the best tools benefits marketers have, and one of the most underused. I produce motion graphics, animated explainers, short social video, and edited testimonial-style content in-house, from storyboard to final export. That means fewer agency invoices and faster turnaround when product, compliance, or pricing changes the week before launch.

compliance-aware creative

Insurance and benefits creative lives next to legal review. I design with that in mind: room for disclosures, clean hierarchy that survives copy edits, and version control that keeps approved assets approved.

why a designer with an automotive portfolio fits benefits

People sometimes see the cinematic automotive work on this site and wonder how it connects to benefits. It connects directly. Premium automotive and lifestyle brands demand precision, restraint, and craft. Benefits brands need the same thing pointed at a different problem: making something important feel trustworthy and easy to act on. The discipline is identical. The subject matter changes.

My background spans branding, website design and development, motion graphics, video, photography, and print. In a benefits company, that range means one senior designer can carry a campaign from concept through static, motion, and web without handing it off three times.

the role I am looking for

• Title. Senior Graphic Designer or Art Director. A Marketing Director role is worth a conversation when the fit is strong.

• Agencies. In-house roles are my focus. Agency roles only make sense when the agency specializes in automotive, motorsports, or action sports.

how I work remotely

Remote creative work succeeds on communication, not just talent. I keep project status visible, ask the questions that prevent a second round of revisions, and deliver organized, labeled files. I am comfortable in Adobe Creative Cloud, video and motion workflows, and the project management and collaboration tools most marketing teams already use. Seven years inside a fast-moving benefits SaaS team has taught me how to work alongside product managers, sales leaders, and compliance reviewers without slowing anyone down.
