The Role

We are seeking a freelance designer with demonstrated copywriting ability to produce guest-facing and property collateral for Villatel Resort Orlando.

• Event and seasonal materials - invitations, programs, posters, table tents, and on-property signage for activations, holiday programming, and private events
• Sales and group collateral - property one-pagers, rate sheets, meetings and celebrations materials, presentation decks
• Digital assets - on-property digital signage and screens, web page graphics and banners, digital versions of guest-facing materials
• Copywriting - headlines, body copy, and calls to action across the above, plus editing and proofing of existing copy
• Production management - print-ready file preparation, specification coordination with printers and vendors, and maintenance of an organized asset library

Required Qualifications

• Minimum three years of professional design and writing experience, with a portfolio demonstrating refined print and digital work
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite or Figma; working knowledge of Canva for templated assets
• Demonstrated copywriting ability - menu descriptions, headlines, and short-form guest communications written to a publishable standard
• Strong command of print production: bleeds, color management, resolution, paper stocks, finishing, and vendor specifications
• Competence designing to digital specifications, including screen dimensions, resolution, and web-ready file formats
• Ability to work within brand guidelines and extend them credibly into new formats
• Availability during U.S. Eastern business hours for review cycles and time-sensitive requests
• Background in luxury hospitality, resorts, hotels, or fine dining, with an understanding of how collateral supports the guest journey
• Experience with resort or attraction-adjacent properties serving families and groups
• Familiarity with Figma
• Typographic sensibility and comfort with restrained, editorial layout
• Located in or near Orlando, with occasional availability for on-property work

• Exacting attention to detail. Typography, spacing, alignment, and copy accuracy are non-negotiable in your work.

• Responsiveness. You communicate proactively, acknowledge feedback promptly, and see projects through.
• Professional collaboration. You take direction gracefully and offer a considered alternative when you believe there's a stronger solution.
• Range with consistency. Whether a piece is playful or formal, it reads as unmistakably Villatel.
