**About Designerds**

Founded in 2014 in San Francisco, CA, we now work 100% remotely with great success, and have team members located throughout the United States and Mexico.

We’re not your typical creative agency. We embed our agency-trained creatives directly within in-house teams, already onboarded and

prepped with all the particulars of the brand and internal processes before work is begun. This saves our clients time and bandwidth getting contractors up and running, alleviates burnout, and allows for continuous coverage of production needs — no more downtime when vacations, illness, or the unforeseen occur.

Why join us? We have a lot to offer. Here are but a few of our perks:

- Annual offsites with the whole team to relax and rejuvenate
- A friendly, inviting work environment with easygoing, collaborative teammates
- Really, truly 100% remote — work from anywhere in Mexican and North American time zones
- Bonuses for new business referrals
- Flexible time-off / holiday policy
