Monthly Retainer
You find someone on Upwork. They deliver one project. Then they disappear, and you start over with someone new who doesn’t know your brand, your goals, or your team. A monthly retainer is different — a creative partner who learns your business, gets more effective every month, and never needs a re-briefing to catch up.

A monthly retainer is consistent creative support — structured, predictable, and built around your team’s actual needs. I learn your brand, your voice, and your priorities — so every request takes less time and lands better than the last one.
20, 40, or 60 hours of design work every month — no surprises
Unlike freelancers, I learn your business and improve every month
I keep everything on-brand — no more design drift
No job postings. No onboarding. No wondering if they’ll be gone in 18 months. Just a creative partner who shows up every month and already knows your brand.

All plans are month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days notice. No long-term contracts.
You can pause your retainer and resume when you need it. No penalty. Hours don't roll over, but you can adjust your plan level month to month.
Freelancers disappear. I don't. As your ongoing design partner, I learn your brand, your voice, and your team — and I get better at serving you every month. Plus, I handle brand governance so everything stays consistent.
Motion design, complex illustrations, web development, and copywriting are out of scope. But I can bring in specialists from my network if needed.
Revisions are included within scope. Just let me know what needs adjusting and I'll iterate until it's right.
Yes. Move between Standard, Growth, and Scale at the start of any month. I'll recommend the right level based on your actual usage.
