Retainer partnerships for growth-stage companies that need high-level design execution without hiring full-time.

Fractional Design Partner

Embedded inside your team without the overhead.

Who This Is Built For

Retainer partnerships are structured for momentum, not experimentation. Make sure the model aligns with how you operate.

A

STRONG FIT

You’ll thrive in this model if:

  • You ship marketing weekly

  • You need senior-level design thinking

  • You value speed and structured systems

  • You prefer one consistent design partner

This is built for growth teams moving fast.

B

MOMENTUM DRIVEN

You already have:

  • Clear positioning

  • Active campaigns

  • A defined product or service

  • Ongoing creative needs

Retainers work best when momentum already exists.

C

STRATEGIC MINDSET

You’re not just looking for visuals.
You want:

  • Thoughtful execution

  • Cohesive brand consistency

  • Long-term creative alignment

  • A partner who understands business context

This is collaboration, not task fulfillment.

D

NOT IDEAL IF

This model may not be a fit if:

  • You need one-off projects

  • You’re testing designers

  • You’re price shopping

  • You don’t have consistent design volume

Retainers require commitment on both sides.
