Freelance - Production Designer

St. Louis, MO

VSA’s purpose is to design for a better human experience. As a strategy and design agency, we blend consumer insights and data with human-centered design to activate meaningful, motivating and measurable experiences in an increasingly noisy world. With offices in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, VSA offers a full range of fully integrated capabilities—branding, advertising, data science and technology—all under one roof. VSA is also a proud member of Meet The People, an international family of unified and independent agencies. For more than 40 years, we have delivered solutions for business and creative leaders at some of the world’s most respected brands and forward-thinking organizations, including Google, Nike and IBM. 

VSA Partners is a design-driven branding and marketing company. 

VSA was founded as a design firm more than 40 years ago with the belief that design is not only a craft but a tool for achieving business objectives. As design thinkers, we approach business challenges holistically and aim to break down silos between branding, digital, marketing and advertising. 

VSA’s Design Practice is responsible for bringing our clients’stories, visions and voices to life. At the intersection of Strategy and Digital, we make ideas tangible and meaningful for the audiences that matter in a cross-platform, media-agnostic way. 

The Production Designer will be a member of VSA’s Production Team. Production is a fully integrated team that works collaboratively with all VSA disciplines and across all clients, mediums and geographies. 

The Production Designer is typically involved from client approval of a creative concept through final delivery. They will collaborate with the Producer and/or Project Manager and Creative leads on projects to execute the creative vision. These projects can range from internal VSA or client communications to various forms of print advertising, promotional pieces and static social media assets. They are responsible for ensuring files adhere to specifications and are technically correct for the intended reproduction conditions. 

The Production Designer is expected to adhere to scheduled deadlines for reviews and to deliver the final product on deadline and maintain all VSA best practices.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
