Summary
FAQs
What’s the difference between retainer and hourly?
- Retainer gives you guaranteed design support, priority service, and discounted rates. - Hourly is flexible, billed only when you request work.
What happens if I don’t use all my retainer hours?
Hours don’t roll over, but I’ll always suggest useful ways to make the most of your time.
Can I switch between hourly and retainer?
Yes, start hourly to test the waters, then move into a retainer for better value and priority service.
Do you only do packaging?
No, while I specialize in packaging, I also support logos, branding assets, and marketing collateral to keep your brand consistent.
