Design Retainers
*PLEASE NOTE: The retainer program is for repeat clients. If we have not yet worked together, let's start by working on a branding package, website, logo or other design materials first before considering the retainer program. It is best that we first make sure a long-term contractual relationship is a good fit for both designer and client.
