Design Sprints & Monthly Retainers
Flexible design and website support for brands who need strategic, high-quality work.
You’ve got a solid brand and a growing business.
You also really don’t want to play the “find a freelancer” game and deal with the hassle and frustration when they don’t understand your needs or vision.
You need a creative partner who can keep things looking polished, aligned, and on-brand without endless direction and feedback cycles.
That’s where my Design Sprints come in.
What’s a Design Sprint?
A Design Sprint is a focused block of design time (approx. 3 hours) reserved exclusively for you on my calendar.
I work fast, intentionally, and strategically—I’m highly experienced and have been doing this style of work for 5+ years—with no vague timelines or endless back-and-forth.
The beauty of the flexible Design Sprint format is that we can focus on one key design task, a list of smaller tasks, or any combination of things that you need, using the number of sprints needed to accomplish your goals.
You can book Design Sprints on an as-needed basis or stay consistently supported with a monthly retainer.
Examples of what can get done in a Design Sprint:
- Workbook/document layout (print or form-fillable PDF)
- Website updates (new page/sections)
- Opt-in/event/webinar landing pages
- Launch or event graphics
- Sales page (typically 2-3 sprints for med-long pages)
- New offer identity & styling (sub-brand)
- Presentation slide deck design
- Social graphics or brand templates
- Course or lead magnet materials
- Book cover or podcast cover & graphics
- Infographics or custom graphics
- Printed marketing collateral (banners, brochures, etc)
- Punch list of smaller design/website/tech tasks
Monthly Retainers
Consistent, high-quality support.
Your brand gets reliable monthly creative support and priority scheduling each month—no waiting in line.

How does it WORK?
1
Book Your Sprint
If we haven’t worked together before, we’ll talk on a fit call to make sure we’re a good fit.
Once you decide to move forward, you’ll reserve your date on my project calendar.
Note to allow time for our pre-work call and prepping your content. For one-off sprints, you’ll need to be available virtually during your Design Sprint time for questions and feedback (retainers don’t have to be available).
2
Pre-Sprint Prep
After you’ve booked, you’ll receive your welcome email with the link to book your pre-sprint call where we’ll go over details about the project and prep work needed (gathering copy, photos, login details, etc.).
For monthly retainers, we’ll setup our communications Google doc, get access to any logins needed, and schedule your recurring sprints on the calendar.
3
Your Sprint Day
During your scheduled sprint, I’ll dig into your design work and we’ll communicate as-needed via a messaging app to collaborate as I work through the design and build.
At the end of the sprint, I’ll send you the final work completed.
4
Post-Sprint
After your Design Sprint is complete, I’ll do any requested revisions (up to 30 mins per sprint) on your work within the week following the sprint.
You also get 30-days of email support from me for any questions or tech issues that may pop-up related to the project.
Wondering what happens if your project needs extra work beyond your booked Sprint? Simple—we can add-on Design Sprints as needed to make sure everything is completed to your satisfaction and looks AMAZING!
