Client Retainer
Perfect for businesses who need marketing materials, but don’t want to hire a full time designer.
Let me help you get back to business!
It’s perfect for clients who know that they will need design services, be it website, Photoshop work, or social media management throughout the year and want to reserve a creative professional’s time. The fee is paid up front before work is started. Essentially, you are “pre-ordering” time. Since I will anticipate a preset number of hours of work from you, we will block out the schedule with the appropriate time. This gives us the ability to plan accordingly, which gives you the certainty of your project(s) priority without having to worry about what else is “in the queue” ahead of you. Not only does it make for a better client experience, It’s more efficient for all involved.
Contract arrangements work especially well for:
- Startups working through branding and can’t afford an in-house designer.
- Established businesses who have varied, ongoing design needs and want solid work and guidance from an experienced designer
- Small creative agencies who need reliable support from an experienced designer
Contract Hours:
$50/hr in bulk.
10hrs/$500
20hrs/$1000
40hrs/$2000
Instead of paying $60/hr save and pay $50 an hour.
You can choose a one time contract for hours in order to save money. Once you purchase the hours you can keep them until they run out.

Danielle is a talented, responsive, wonderful artist, and business owner. I initially expected one logo to be presented... in a take it or leave it fashion. However, Danielle sent me 4 renditions of my logo and was more than willing to create more. She has fair affordable pricing and goes above and beyond in the customer service aspect of her business. We were casually emailing each about my logo well past standard business hours because she wanted to make sure I was taken care of. I have already impressed others with my logo, and passed on her info to others. Do not pass on Danielle, no one will treat you better for the respective rate she charged for her diligent work.read more
