Ongoing and reliable graphic design support, when your business needs it.

Once you decide to move forward, you’ll pay the retainer at the start of each month. You’ll get dedicated design support during the agreed upon hours in your package, which we can set up on a fixed or flexible schedule. At the end of the 3 or 6 months, you can decide if you’d like to renew and keep the same monthly hours or increase or decrease them to fit your upcoming projects.

Your retainer is built around you. We’ll talk through what you need and decide on the number of hours that might work for that, as well as how often you’d like my support each month. You may want the hours spread across all 4 weeks, every other week, or one dedicated week a month. For example, you may only need a few hours of support each week, or you may prefer longer hours concentrated into a single week. We’ll make a reasonable estimate together and choose a setup that works best for your needs, your budget, and my schedule.

A retainer is a good fit for businesses with ongoing design needs, meaning you have multiple projects on a weekly or bi-weekly basis and want steady, dependable support. It’s perfect if you want a graphic designer on your team without having to hire in-house. If you simply have a long list of projects to knock out at once, a VIP Day might be a better fit, and if you only need occasional design help, you can always hire me on a per-project basis.

Your hours can be used for most graphic design projects. That includes designing new materials or updating existing ones, like flyers, brochures, reports, ads, social media graphics, signage, business cards, and stationery. Your hours can also cover expanding your brand assets or light logo work if it fits within your scheduled time. I can also help coordinate with printers or third-party vendors on anything related to your projects. If something falls outside my usual services or area of expertise, I’ll let you know upfront so we can plan accordingly.

If you’re on a fixed time schedule, we’ll set your specific days and time slots before your first month begins so they’re consistently reserved for your business each month. If you prefer a flexible schedule, you’ll need to request your days and time slots at least 1 week in advance so I can do my best to accommodate the timing for the following week.

If you need more time than what’s included in your retainer, we can continue the work at my standard hourly rate. If a request looks like it may take longer than the hours you have left, I’ll let you know so you can decide how you’d like to move forward.
