A design retainer is perfect for teams that want consistent, high-quality design support without hiring full-time. As your ongoing design partner, I help you move faster, stay consistent, and maintain a polished, modern design standard across all your product and brand needs.
With experience designing websites, apps, landing pages, SaaS products, and visual assets for YC startups, fast-growing companies, and global brands, I bring both speed and strategic clarity. You get reliable, on-demand design support from a Senior Product Designer who understands your product, your users, and your goals, and can plug in seamlessly as an extension of your team.
Whether you're iterating on a product, launching new features, or improving your website and brand collateral, a retainer gives you flexible, priority access to ongoing design work.
How Retainers Work
Flexible Monthly Hours: You’ll have a set number of design hours per month to use as needed perfect for ongoing projects or ad-hoc design tasks.
Priority Access: Retainer clients always get priority scheduling and faster turnaround times compared to one-off projects.
Ongoing Collaboration: I’ll work with your team to provide consistent design support, ensuring all deliverables align with your vision and objectives.
Transparent Reporting: At the end of each month, you’ll receive a detailed summary of completed work, hours used, and upcoming tasks.
Scale Up Anytime: Need additional support? We can add extra hours or adjust your retainer as your product and team grow.

FAQs
Retainers are completely flexible — most clients choose anywhere between 20 to 80 hours per month, depending on their product roadmap and design needs. We’ll finalize the ideal number of hours during our onboarding call.
No — hours don’t roll over to the next month since retainers are designed for steady, consistent design support. I always help you prioritize the most important tasks so you get maximum value from your hours each month.
Anything product or UI/UX related — feature flows, usability improvements, wireframes, UI design, prototypes, dashboards, design systems, landing pages, website updates, and more. If it touches your product or user experience, I can support it.
I typically work asynchronously with updates via Slack, email, Trello, Loom, or Notion — whatever your team prefers. Along with async updates, we can schedule weekly or bi-weekly check-ins to keep everything aligned.
If you need additional design support, we can add extra hours or temporarily scale up your retainer. You’ll never be stuck — the retainer is meant to be flexible.
