Partner with a professional designer — no micromanaging required.
have an "on-staff" designer for the day
A Design Do-Day is one-on-one work time where your projects are my only priority.
If you already have brand visuals in use, offload design jobs to me!
Maybe you’ve worked with designers before, and with long lead times, the process can be tedious. It’s time-consuming — all the back-and-forth, miscommunication and little tweaks can take days or weeks. Your designer seems overwhelmed and slow to respond. This is frustrating for clients, and makes designers look bad.
My system is better for both of us. So before you add “designer” to your list of job titles, try a Design Do-Day!
The many perks of Design Days:
- Professionally designed collateral aligned to the brand visual identity
- Flat-fee price covers all the projects that day
- You can pick which day suits your schedule
- Direct communication with me throughout the day
- The files you need are ready the following day
- 30 days virtual support
Here's how it works:
book a day
Once you've been enrolled as a client, you can book the next available Do-Day.

We'll review your project list, and divvy up pre-day tasks so we're ready to roll.
work day arrives
I'll be working on your list. You'll get updates and proofs throughout the day.
edit credit and support
You have 2 Edit Credit hours for changes, and 30 days of virtual support.

Frequently asked questions
What is Edit Credit?
Edit Credit is time allowance to make changes to the projects we’ve completed. The two hours may be used all at once or in half-hour increments within 14 days of the Do-Day.
Clients may not use this time for any projects that were not started on the original Do-Day.
Do you offer an hourly rate? What if I only have a small project?
I do not offer design services at an hourly rate. Can you think of any other projects I can work on in case there is time left? Photo editing? New social profile images? A YouTube end card?
Can you design a logo during a Design Do-Day?
I don’t believe that branding for a business can be completed in a day. However, I could vectorize or tweak an existing logo. I could also do a “mini-branding” to create a cohesive look for a special event, fundraiser, or other one-off experience. Contact me to set up a phone meeting!
My Brand Blueprint is crafted to help businesses build a custom brand.
I’m not very tech-savvy. Can you help me with my website?
At this time, I do not offer full web design services. However, I can help you make updates or add content to an existing website. Contact me to set up a phone meeting!
What if you don’t finish my project?
I am happy to review your project list before you book. I can talk through expectations and plan a way to meet your goals while making the most of your project day. I can recommend a number of days to book and come up with a strategy that uses my time efficiently.
What will I need to give you before my Design Day?
Prior to your Design Do-Day, we’ll set up a shared Dropbox Paper document where you’ll create a list of projects. During our Production Meeting, we will review your projects together and make a list of items and content that we’ll need.
Successful Design Do-Days depend on clients holding to their project responsibilities by submitting content on time, being on-call during their booked time, and having a plan in place for proofing with stakeholders. I will work as long as you can keep me busy or your time runs out — whichever comes first. (Hint: It pays to be prepared!)
