Why book a retainer? • Are you a business that requires a lot of graphics monthly but can never find a designer on your schedule? This is for you. • You can plan your project deadlines monthly with a peace of mind. Your graphics will be a guaranteed amount of prioritized work each month. • By booking a retainer, you are given a discount compared to normal fees. The more hours of service you book, the larger the discount. • Easier payments – You pay a set amount each month for your services. • Less paperwork – You don't have to sign new contracts.

Typically, our turnaround time for digital designs are between 12-21 business days. Web design can take up to 5-8 weeks for completion due to the complexity of the design and task. Branding packages can take anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Please always take into consideration that communcation plays a major role in turn around times.



Do I own my logo? How does this work?

YES! You definitely own your logo, 100%.. however, as the designer – I am the owner of the artwork. The client understands that they are not the artist or designer of the original artwork. Client understands they are allowed to use the artwork for their business purposes (apparel, printed items, etc). As the client, you can copyright or trademark your business name – but not the artwork being that I am not the original artist of the works. Please contact us for more information regarding if you'd like to purchase the artwork.
