About this Service
Most founders have a running list of design things that never get done.
Not because they don't matter. Because every time there's something to fix or build, finding someone new means re-explaining the product, the brand, the tone, and by the time they're up to speed, the moment has passed.
This retainer is for founders and small teams who need one reliable designer who already knows their product and shows up every week, not just when there's a big project.
What you get every month
Consistent design execution across everything your product needs — UI, lead-generation landing pages*, dashboards, ad creatives, decks, social graphics, and design system updates.
Priority access — your requests move ahead of new project clients. No waiting.
Response within 24 hours on weekdays — no chasing
Weekly alignment — short async check-in on priorities, no long calls required
Monthly review — 30 minutes: what shipped, what's next, where to focus
Figma handoff — everything dev-ready, nothing left for your team to guess
*For full multi-page website projects, use the standalone service.
How it actually works
You bring requests. I know your product, your system, and what your users respond to. We align at the start of each week. I ship continuously.
By month two, the lead time on anything shrinks. You stop explaining context. Things move faster. That's the actual value of continuity, and it compounds.
A few things worth knowing
Unused hours don't roll over if a month is quieter; we use the time on backlog or strategic work, so nothing is wasted.
If you've already done an audit or a project together, that costs credits toward your first month.
Not for everyone
This works best for teams shipping regularly multiple updates, campaigns, or product changes per month. If you only need one project, the standalone services are the better fit.
Not sure if you have enough work? That's usually the sign you do. It's just scattered and invisible right now.
FAQs
How much work can I send per month?
Typically 4–6 mid-size tasks or 1–2 larger ones per month. We align on priorities weekly so nothing piles up and everything moves forward.
How does the day-to-day actually work?
We set up a dedicated Slack channel — that's where everything lives. No email threads, no lost context. You drop requests there, I respond within 24 hours on weekdays. If something needs more explanation, I send a Loom video so you don't need to jump on a call unless you want to.
What if it's not working after the first month?
If, after the first month, it's not the right fit for either side, we stop. No awkward conversations, no penalties.
How is this different from just messaging you project by project?
Project by project means starting from scratch every time — new brief, new context, new timeline negotiation. With the retainer, I already know your product, your brand, and your priorities. You don't explain, you just send. That difference is small in month one and significant by month three.
What's not included?
Development and Webflow/Framer builds, copywriting, and brand strategy from scratch. Design-only but dev-ready, so your team can build without guesswork.
