Extra Support
Part of the Team
Good to know
Plans change, and that's absolutely fine.
If your priorities shift from month to month, you have up to 3 months to use your retainer days. Just drop me a message and we'll move things around.
If your design needs change in the future, you can cancel your retainer with one month's notice, and you'll still be able to use any remaining booked days.
Is a Monthly Retainer right for you?
This service is designed for purpose-driven organisations, charities, and marketing teams who need a long-term creative partner to help carry the load, without the overheads of hiring full-time staff.
It’s a perfect fit if:
-
You are handling multiple live campaigns and need rapid turnaround on digital and print assets.
-
You need regular, large-scale design work like annual reports, educational materials, or event collateral.
-
You want a dedicated designer who completely understands your audience, brand guidelines, and values inside out.
-
Your internal team is stretched and you need guaranteed creative capacity month after month.
Could a monthly retainer work for your team?
If design work is a regular part of your month, a retainer gives you dedicated support you can rely on. Instead of briefing a new designer every time, you'll have someone who understands your brand, your team and the way you like to work.
Ideal if you're...
-
Your team has regular design work but not enough in-house capacity.
-
You're creating campaigns, reports, events or publications throughout the year.
-

How a Monthly Retainer works
Simple, flexible and designed to fit around your team. Once your retainer is in place, you'll have dedicated design time every month, ready whenever you need it.
01
Let's chat
We'll talk through the type of design support you need and agree how many days are right for your team.
02
Book your days
Your days are booked into my calendar each month, so you've always got dedicated design time ready when you need it.
03
Send your brief
As projects come up, simply send them over. Because your time is already booked, we can get started quickly without waiting for quotes or availability.
04
Design & Deliver
I'll create your artwork, make any agreed refinements within your booked time, and deliver everything ready for print, digital or both.
Why clients love working this way
-
Dedicated time every month
You'll always have design time set aside in my calendar, so projects keep moving without scrambling to find availability. -
Someone who knows your brand
The more we work together, the better I understand your organisation, your audience and how you like to work. That means less explaining and more getting things done. -
One simple monthly cost
No surprise quotes for every project. Just dedicated design support you can budget for month after month.
