Brand work shouldn't stop at launch. Design crafted every week.

Content & creative on retainer. Photography, illustration, packaging, editorial — the design partner that ships with you every week, not the agency you re-onboard every quarter.

What we see

The creative model most studios still sell.

The agency you re-onboard every quarter.

New project, new brief, new team — the brand context evaporates between engagements. By month three you're paying to teach them your business again.

The freelancer roulette.

A network of contractors, none accountable for the through-line. Quality drifts week to week, and the brand spine starts to bend.

The in-house designer who burns out.

One generalist asked to do photography, packaging, decks, social, email, and OOH. The work shows it.

What's included

A creative partner on call.

Weekly cadence, monthly review, quarterly recalibration.

Photography sprints.

Studio + lifestyle shoots run quarterly, with shot lists, prop sourcing, retouching, and asset library upload. The catalog stops looking like 17 different shoots.

Illustration + icon work.

Custom illustration for editorial, OOH, and email. On-brand, not stock.

Packaging design.

Primary + secondary packaging design, dielines, print engineering, vendor handoff.

Editorial design

Articles, lookbooks, longform PDFs — designed in the brand voice.

Pitch decks

Investor, partner, sales decks — on-system, on-brand, ready to ship.

Email creative

Klaviyo template designs, campaign creative, lifecycle visuals.

Social creative

Static + motion for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn — branded, not improvised.

Brand vigilance

Quarterly audits of every customer-facing surface. Drift caught before it spreads.

Questions

Things people ask before they sign.

How is this different from hiring an in-house designer?+

You get the bench depth of a studio without the comp + benefits + management overhead of a hire. Photography, illustration, packaging, and design come from specialists — not one generalist asked to be everything.

How fast can you turn things around?+

Standard SLA is 5 business days for design tasks, 2 weeks for photography sprints, 3 weeks for packaging. Rush work is available — surfaced async, never silent.

What's "Brand Vigilance"?+

Quarterly audits of every customer-facing surface (PDP, email, packaging, social, support emails) against the brand system. We catch drift before it spreads.

Can we pause or downgrade?+

After the first 6–12 month minimum, yes — 60-day notice to pause, downgrade, or end. We don’t do auto-renew traps.

Will we have one named lead?+

Yes — a creative lead + a project manager assigned to your account. They don’t rotate. The same people are on month 1 and month 24.

How quickly can we start?+

Onboarding kicks off within 2 weeks of contract. First production sprint typically starts week 3 after the brand audit + workflow setup.

Let's commence

A creative design partner on retainer, not on call.

If you're tired of re-onboarding agencies and hiring freelancers you have to manage, this is the engagement model that fixes it. Weekly cadence. Monthly reviews. One named team.
