About this service

Summary

Instead of juggling multiple freelancers for logos, UI, or campaign visuals, you get one partner who can handle it all—brand identity, UI/UX, illustration, and art direction—in one unified voice.

I work best with startups and growing teams that move fast and iterate often. My role is to embed into your workflow like an in-house designer: jumping on product screens one week, refining your brand system the next, and building out campaign visuals when you need to launch.

You’ll have one point of contact who understands your business, keeps your design consistent, and saves you the overhead of managing a scattered team.

FAQs

What’s the benefit of a retainer vs. per-project work?
Retainers give you consistent access to a designer who already understands your brand, saving you time, money, and the headache of retraining new freelancers every project.
What if I don’t use all my hours in a month?
Unused hours can roll over to the following month (up to 50%), so nothing is wasted.
How do we track progress?
I provide a shared task board (Trello, Notion, or your tool of choice) with transparent updates and weekly summaries.
Can I scale up or down?
Yes—plans are flexible. If you have a product launch or a heavy campaign month, we can increase hours. You can also downscale when things are lighter.
What types of projects are excluded?
Extremely large-scope projects (e.g., full rebrands or 100+ screen apps) are better handled as separate scoped projects, but retainer clients get discounted rates on these.

Feranmi has been our go-to-designer and an important part of shaping Gruve’s brand identity. He created strong illustration assets that brought consistency across product and marketing, and his eye for color always pushed us toward bold but balanced directions. He’s open to feedback and collaborative, which made it easy to refine ideas together. A creative partner I’d recommend for teams looking to elevate their visual identity.

Feranmi is my go-to designer when ideas need shaping fast. He turns messy briefs into clean, on-brand visuals across thumbnails, motion, and decks. Strategic and genuinely creative, he anticipates the story, offers sharp options, and explains the why without jargon. If you want design that’s strategic, fresh, and on time, you’ll enjoy working with him.

Working with Feranmi is always a win. He has this rare knack for turning messy ideas into designs that just make sense. His eye for detail is sharp; he’ll spot things you didn’t even know were off—and his creativity keeps projects fresh. Plus, he’s fun to collaborate with, which makes the work feel less like ‘work.’ If you need design that balances creativity with strategy, Feranmi delivers.
