Retainer Services
Perfect for businesses who need marketing materials on a monthly basis, but don't want to hire a full time designer.
Let me help you get back to business!
Why Retainer?
If you know that you’ll need design services throughout the year, but don't want to hire a full-time designer, this should work out well.
You get a discounted rate compared to my normal hourly rate and a la carte rates.
You have peace of mind with a guaranteed amount of work each month.
You pay a set amount each month for the duration of your contract and don't have to worry about fluctuating design fees.
You get the access to a professional Master of designer, without the overhead costs of an employee (yuk).
How it works?
A retainer fee is like a monthly design fee. It is paid up front each month before work is ordered. Essentially, you are paying for time versus a specific service.
Based on the retainer package you select, I will block out my schedule with the appropriate amount of hours each month and plan my workload accordingly. You have peace of mind knowing that you will receive a pre-established amount of work each month, without having to worry about what other client projects are ahead of you!

Graphic Design Retainer Details:
3 month minimum commitment. At the end of 3 months, we can talk about how things are going to ensure the number of hours are fitting your business needs. After that, we can either say good-byes or move to 6, 9, or 12 month commitments.
Each retainer includes a set number of hours per week. Overage in hours each week will be billed at the standard hourly rate of $100 per hour (minus package discounts).
Unused hours expire at the end of each week. This is to ensure that I can allocate time for your projects each week and plan my workload accordingly.
You will get an invoice on the first day of each month. The invoice will include the monthly retainer rate for that month and any additional charges from the previous month.
