Freelance Designers
The following list of freelance designers is intended to help you choose the creative best suited to your specific project needs.
All of our featured professionals specialize in a wide range of graphic design mediums—including magazines, digital signage, custom illustration, and more—and have a proven track record of creating high-impact visual collateral for Boston University in collaboration with MarCom. Beyond their core design strengths, each freelancer brings a unique set of additional expertise to elevate your next project.
Some designers are available for on-site photoshoots; all are able to manage your printing needs by working with Boston University–approved printers.
Important: Please initiate contact with designers using their personal or non-BU work email addresses. BU email accounts will need to be reinstated upon contract. A BU email address that the freelancer previously used might still be working, but most are not and freelancers do not regularly check them unless contracted by BU.
