Let me help you focus on your business!

Why choose a retainer program?

  • If you know that you will need design services thoughout the year, but don't want to hire a full-time designer, my retainer program is for you.
  • You get a discounted rate compared to my normal hourly rate and a la carte rates.
  • You have peace of mind with a guaranteed amount of work each month.
  • You pay a set amount each month for the duration of your subscription and don't have to worry about fluctuating design fees.
  • You get the access to a professional designer without the overhead costs of an employee.

How does it work?

A retainer fee is like a monthly design fee. It is paid up front each month before work is ordered. Essentially, you are paying for time versus a specific service.

Based on the retainer package you select, I will block out my schedule with the appropriate amount of hours each month and plan my workload accordingly. You have peace of mind knowing that you will receive a pre-established amount of work each month, without having to worry about what other client projects are ahead of you!

At the end of your first month, we will review the program to see if you want to adjust the number of hours reserved each month and adjust accordingly.
