Summary

My Ongoing — Design gives you flexible, on-demand access to expert design across brand, marketing, and web projects — all at $150/hr.

Process

Step 1 — Kickoff & Design Roadmap

We’ll jump on a quick kickoff call to review your goals and upcoming needs. Together, we’ll create a lightweight roadmap so you always know what’s coming next.

Step 2 — Send Requests As Needed

Submit design requests as they come up—whether it’s a landing page, a pitch deck, social assets, or product visuals. We offer a fast 1–3 day turnaround on most tasks, with clear communication along the way.

Step 3 — Review & Refine

We’ll share design drafts for feedback and collaborate with you to refine until it's just right. You’ll always know where things stand through async updates or quick check-ins.

Step 4 — Deliver Final Files

Once approved, we’ll package and deliver your final design assets in your preferred format (Figma, PDFs, PNGs, etc.). Everything is yours to use and reuse across your brand ecosystem.

Step 5 — Ongoing Support

As long as your retainer is active, we’re here to support you. Think of us as your plug-in design team—ready to jump in whenever you need creative firepower.

FAQs

What types of projects can I request through this service?
You can request anything from brand design and pitch decks to e-commerce pages, campaigns, and website design. I offer full-spectrum creative support across visual identity, product visuals, social content, and more.
How does the workflow and communication process work?
We’ll stay in sync through regular check-ins and shared tools (like Figma, Notion, Slack, or whatever works best for you). I treat your priorities like my own and adapt to your internal cadence—daily, weekly, or ad-hoc.
How fast is the turnaround for design requests?
Most design tasks are turned around within 1–3 business days depending on complexity. Bigger projects like websites or campaigns are scheduled in advance with realistic milestones to keep momentum high and stress low.
Is this service suitable for startups or early-stage companies?
Yes—this is tailor-made for startups who need high-quality design without building a full in-house team. Whether you're pre-seed or scaling fast, I plug in instantly with strategic thinking and senior-level execution.
What if I need a service outside the scope of design—like development or copywriting?
While I focus on design and art direction, I can collaborate with your existing team or recommend trusted partners for development, copy, and other needs. Think of me as your creative lead on call.
