Not running for office — running for a job. A graphic designer’s campaign to get hired in Ireland.
A designer who wins attention for a living — campaign identities, brand systems and short-form video with 5.5 million views of proof — is applying for a seat on your team. She’ll need a work permit. She’s worth it.
Most candidates hide the visa question. This one is answering it above the fold.
Lauren is a U.S. citizen relocating permanently to County Wexford with her family. To hire her full-time, an employer sponsors a General Employment Permit — a well-trodden, standard process handled with Ireland’s Department of Enterprise.
That’s a real cost, and she knows it. It’s also a filter that works in your favour: you’re not hiring someone passing through. She’s moving her whole life here. The employer who sponsors her gets a designer with campaign-cycle stamina, proven organic reach, and every reason to stay and build.
Details of the permit process should be confirmed against current DETE guidance.
5.5M views on one post, zero ad spend — the growth in-house teams budget heavily to chase.
Logo to yard sign to Reels — complete identities designed and shipped solo, on election-cycle deadlines.
Comfortable on camera; has represented her organisations on local, state and national broadcasts.
