Graphic design support without hiring a Full-Time designer

Every hour you spend resizing images, rebuilding slide decks, or hunting for on-brand fonts is an hour not spent on the work only you can do. Trusty Oak's design-capable EAs handle production-level graphic work — social content, branded templates, marketing collateral — so your output stays consistent without the overhead of a full-time hire. With 92 logged time entries in this category, we know where the repetitive work actually lives.

What your executive assistant handles

Concrete tasks our team takes on — not vague promises.

Branded Social Media Graphics

Your EA creates on-brand graphics for Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and X using your existing brand kit in Canva or Adobe Express, sized correctly for each platform so you're not doing manual exports.

Presentation Design and Formatting

Sales decks, investor presentations, and internal slide decks get rebuilt or polished in PowerPoint or Google Slides to match your brand standards — consistent fonts, colors, and layouts throughout.

Marketing Collateral Production

Flyers, one-pagers, brochures, and event materials are produced from your existing templates or a provided brief, ready for print or digital distribution.

Template Creation and Brand Kit Management

Your EA builds reusable Canva or Adobe Express templates locked to your brand guidelines, so anyone on your team can create on-brand assets without breaking the look.

Image Sourcing and Editing

Your EA sources licensed stock photography from Unsplash, Pexels, or Shutterstock and handles basic edits — cropping, resizing, background removal — so assets are production-ready before they reach you.

Email and Newsletter Graphics

Header images, promotional banners, and in-email graphics are designed to spec for Mailchimp, Klaviyo, or Constant Contact, keeping your email content visually consistent with your other channels.

How the handoff works

After onboarding, your dedicated Client Success Manager documents your brand guidelines, preferred tools, and design workflow in a Strategic Delegation Plan before your EA touches a single file. In the first week, most clients share their brand kit — logos, color hex codes, fonts, and any existing templates — and walk through one or two example projects so the EA understands your standards. From there, work is typically handed off via a shared project management tool like Asana or Trello, with assets delivered to a shared Google Drive or Dropbox folder for your review. Revision requests go back through the same channel, keeping everything organized and out of your inbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Trusty Oak EAs have actual design experience, or are they just using templates?

Trusty Oak Specialists assigned to design work have hands-on experience with tools like Canva and Adobe Express and understand how to work within brand guidelines — not just drop text into a pre-made layout. That said, we're transparent: this is production-level and brand-consistent design work, not custom illustration or advanced print production requiring a dedicated graphic designer.

What if I don't have a brand kit or formal guidelines?

Your EA can work from what you have — even if that's just a logo file and a color you like — and help you document those elements into a reusable brand reference as part of the engagement. Many clients use the first few weeks to build that foundation so all future design work stays consistent.

How do I hand off design requests without it becoming a back-and-forth email chain?

Your Client Success Manager will help you set up a simple intake process during onboarding — usually a shared request form or a dedicated column in your project management tool — so your EA always has the context needed to execute without chasing you for details. Most clients find the handoff gets faster after the first two or three projects once the EA understands your preferences.

Can an EA handle design work across multiple platforms and formats at the same time?

Yes — resizing and reformatting assets across platforms is one of the most common design tasks Trusty Oak EAs handle, and it's exactly the kind of repetitive work that eats time when you're doing it yourself. Your EA can take a single source asset and produce correctly sized versions for LinkedIn, Instagram, email headers, and your website in one batch.
