Graphic design support for schools, EdTech, & education organizations

By Zack Pennington, CEO Updated

Whether you're updating enrollment brochures, designing slide decks for professional development, or building visual assets for an online course, design work piles up fast in education settings. Most education teams don't have a dedicated designer on staff, and asking teachers or administrators to produce polished visuals isn't a sustainable solution. A Nacho Specialist can take that work off your plate on a flexible monthly basis.

How it works

How Nacho handles graphic design for education companies

When you bring on a Nacho Graphic Design Specialist for your education organization, they start by reviewing your existing brand assets: logos, color palettes, fonts, and any style guides, so every deliverable stays on-brand without you micromanaging each project. Day-to-day, they work in tools like Canva Pro, Adobe InDesign, or Illustrator depending on your needs, producing assets like course thumbnails, parent-facing flyers, social media graphics for enrollment campaigns, and presentation templates for staff or board meetings. You submit requests through whatever workflow suits you: a shared Asana board, a simple Google Form, or even email, and your Specialist turns them around with enough lead time to review before deadlines. Your role is approving drafts and flagging any content changes; the layout, sizing, and visual polish are handled for you. Because hours roll over month to month, slower summer periods don't mean wasted budget.

Off your plate

What your EA takes off your plate

Before your first project, pull together your brand kit: logo files, approved fonts, hex color codes, and any existing templates, and share them with your Specialist during onboarding. The most common mistake education clients make is sending a Word doc or a screenshot of a flyer and expecting the EA to recreate the brand from scratch; the cleaner your starting assets, the faster and more consistent the output will be.

  1. Course and Curriculum Visual Design

    Design workbooks, lesson handouts, and eLearning slide templates in tools like Canva or InDesign, formatted for both print and digital delivery on platforms like Canvas or Google Classroom.

  2. Enrollment and Recruitment Collateral

    Create print-ready and digital brochures, open house flyers, and viewbooks that align with your school or program's brand standards and admissions messaging.

  3. Social Media Graphics for Education Campaigns

    Produce sized, on-brand graphics for platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to support enrollment windows, event promotion, or program announcements.

  4. Presentation and Slide Deck Design

    Build or refresh PowerPoint or Google Slides templates for board presentations, staff professional development sessions, or accreditation reports.

  5. Email Newsletter and Communication Templates

    Design reusable visual templates in Mailchimp or Constant Contact for parent newsletters, donor updates, or district-wide communications that staff can update each cycle.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes, brand compliance is a standard part of how our Specialists work. If your district has a formal style guide, share it during onboarding and your Specialist will follow it for every deliverable. If you only have loose guidelines, they can help document a working brand reference from your existing materials.
Absolutely. Nacho Specialists are experienced with Canva Pro and Canva for Teams, including shared brand kits and folder structures. You can add your Specialist as a member of your existing workspace so all assets stay organized in one place and your staff retains access after each project.
That depends on the complexity of each asset, but at the Specialist rate of $50/hour with a starting budget of $1,000/month, most education clients get 15 to 20 hours of design time per month, enough to cover recurring needs like social graphics and newsletters while also tackling a larger project like a course workbook or enrollment brochure. Your Client Success Manager will help you prioritize during onboarding.
