​Why choose a retainer program?

• If you know that you will need design services for a long period of time, but don't want to hire a full-time designer, my retainer program is for you.
• You get a discounted rate compared to my normal hourly rate.
• You have peace of mind with a guaranteed amount of work each month.
• You pay a set amount each month for the duration of your contract and don't have to worry about fluctuating design fees.
• You get the access to a professional designer without the overhead costs of an employee.

How it works.

A retainer fee is like a monthly design fee. It is paid up front each month before work is ordered. Essentially, you are paying for time versus a specific service. 
Based on the retainer package you select, I will block out my schedule with the appropriate amount of hours each month and plan my workload accordingly. You have peace of mind knowing that you will receive a pre-established amount of work each month, without having to worry about what other client projects are ahead of you!
