Jason Gilstrap
@jasongilstrap
Creative graphic designer specializing in social media, branding, and cross-platform visuals.
What I'm looking for
I am a creative, detail-oriented graphic designer with over a decade of experience crafting high-impact visual content for digital and print. My work spans social media design, packaging, apparel, vehicle wraps, and comprehensive brand identity development.
I collaborate closely with clients and internal teams to develop concepts that align with brand strategy and campaign goals, iterating based on feedback to deliver consistent, polished results. I have served as primary designer for major clients and overseen Shopify product management and web store administration.
My technical toolkit centers on Adobe Creative Suite alongside Canva, Monday.com, Basecamp, and Google Drive, and I bring a solutions-focused approach to workflow optimization and quality control. I also have basic experience with Adobe After Effects and Maya.
I seek remote opportunities where I can leverage my branding and social media design expertise to produce engaging cross-platform content that drives audience engagement and brand loyalty.
