About this service

Summary

This service is for brands, startups, or creative teams who need a reliable, fast, and flexible visual designer on retainer. With over 6 years of experience and a wide skill set, I provide consistent design support — from logos and full brand identities to pitch decks, UI/UX design, marketing materials, 3D assets, and even web development. I can assist with strategy, lead design efforts, offer consultations, or simply jump in where needed with quick turnaround and high attention to detail. You’ll get a design partner who’s always in sync with your brand and just a message away whenever you need visual support.

  • How many design requests can I make each month?

    You can submit unlimited requests, and I’ll handle them one at a time based on priority. I aim to deliver fast, high-quality results with quick turnaround times, usually within 24–72 hours depending on the complexity.

  • What if I don’t use all my hours in a month?

    There’s no hour tracking—this retainer is based on consistent creative support, not time. As long as requests fall within scope, I’ll keep working through them. If we ever need to re-align expectations, we’ll talk it through.

    We’ll use Slack as our workflow and Notion for tracking each work tasks. But if you prefer the good ol’ email, then I am flexible and responsive to set up a streamlined system to keep things flowing smoothly.

    Yes—there’s a minimum commitment of one month. After that, it’s month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime with a one-week notice.

    Due to the nature of the service and time committed each month, I don’t offer refunds. However, I always strive to deliver exceptional value and clear communication throughout.
