About this service

FAQs

  • What happens if I don’t use all the hours during the retainer?

    During the retainer, we will set expectations each week on the projects and responsibilities, making it unlikely that all the hours won't be used if everything is planned and executed as expected. If plans change and a project takes less time than expected, any unused hours can be accumulated. These accumulated hours can be used during another busy week or to extend the retainer. **Example:** If you booked a 2-week retainer of 10 hours a week but only used 5 hours in the first week, you will have 5 extra hours. These hours can be added to the second week, allowing for 15 hours of work, or you can extend the retainer by an additional week for 5 hours.

What's included

  • Weekly design work

    This contract work service is tailored for brands, companies, or individuals who need assistance with a variety of projects over a week, month or quarterly. This is a service retainer arrangement where I will help you with your visual or graphic design needs for a minimum of one week. Extensions are available based on the relationship we build while working together. **How does it work?** We will start with an introductory call to ensure we are a great match. We will establish your needs and the potential timeline for the retainer. If we believe we are the right fit, I will share a contract and proposal detailing the type of work and the scope of needs, which will confirm your booking. The retainer payment is a flat fee for the period of work which you will pay weekly or biweekly until we complete the agreed retainer, not by the hour. However, we will establish the number of hours I will work per week to provide an idea of my availability and capacity for additional meetings or work.

Cami was a dream to work with. We had a lot to get done under a pretty short time period and with requirements that changed along the way, and Cami was able to adapt and deliver at a really high-quality within the deadline and budget. Our whole team is super happy with the end result of the project and I hope I get the opportunity to work with Cami again in the future.
