If you need ongoing design work throughout the year but don't want to hire a full-time designer, a retainer fee is the perfect monthly solution. A retainer program's goal is to secure a professional designer to assist with all of your design needs while also establishing a long-term relationship with someone who is familiar with your brand.
Why a Graphic Design Retainer Program for you?
- Discounts and savings - You receive a discount on all of your design projects. The lower the rates you receive, the more hours you commit to.
- Peace of mind and more time - you'll be given first priority! As you're paying in advance, you'll have a set amount of time each month. You can set deadlines with confidence, knowing that your project will be finished on time.
- Designs by a professional – Don't stress about designing your own projects or learning Photoshop; I'll take care of it for you.

What are the details of the Retainer program?
- The retainer program is only for clients who already have their basic brand guidelines and logo complete, new logo designs do not fall under this program.
- A minimum 3-month commitment is required.
- A set number of hours is allocated each month for your projects. Please see the pricing below to get a better sense of the average price ranges that will be based on your project needs.
- Payment will be due on the 1st of each month, for the month ahead.
- Unused retainer hours will expire at the end of each month, they do not roll over, as that would defeat the purpose of a project retainer.
- I will let you know if we are running close to hitting your monthly hours. If additional time is needed for the month, you will be made aware before committing to pay extra.
