What to Look for When Hiring Graphic Design and Illustration Services

[Howard Elias]

Hey everyone,
I’ve recently been tasked with finding a freelancer who can handle both graphic design and illustration services for our upcoming product launch. The challenge is finding someone with a balance of technical design skill (for things like branding and layouts) and creative illustration ability for more expressive visuals.

For those of you who’ve gone through this process—what are your top tips when hiring?
Should I separate the roles or look for a hybrid designer? What are some red flags to watch out for?
