Monthly Creative Partnership
Your outsourced creative partner — ongoing website updates, creative direction, social media, campaigns, collateral and brand oversight.
The problem I solve.
Growing businesses need design help regularly, but hiring in-house is expensive and project-by-project freelancing is slow. Without a consistent creative partner, brand momentum stalls and the work feels disconnected.
Growing businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that want an ongoing creative partner across brand, marketing, and web — without the overhead of building an internal creative department.
I act as your outsourced creative partner — priority design support across website updates, creative direction, social media, campaigns, collateral, landing pages and brand oversight — so your brand keeps moving without starting from scratch every time. It is not minor maintenance. It is a continuing creative partnership.

Common questions.
How is the retainer priced?
The starting plan is $750/month for up to five hours of creative support, with one prioritized request in progress at a time. Revisions count toward capacity; larger needs receive a custom proposal.
Can unused hours roll over?
Terms are defined in the agreement; typically a monthly reset keeps support predictable for both sides.
What if I need a larger project?
Bigger builds like new websites are quoted separately so the retainer stays focused on ongoing support.
