Design Days

Design is in our bones and problem-solving is our DNA. And our absolute raison d’etre is to see you in a profitable, purpose-led business that encapsulates who you are and what you’re about.

AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU * AN ENTIRE DAY OF DESIGN JUST FOR YOU *

You’re spending so much time in the business (and you’re crushing it, by the way) that finding time to work on the business is proving to be a little tricky.

If you’re asking yourself questions like ‘do I go to bed before 1:30am or sit on Canva for the rest of my life moving things around the screen?’ … then it sounds like someone needs a design day!

Sorry, what now? I don’t even have a design minute let alone a design day!

Exactly.

What is a Design Day?

Put simply, a design day is a chance for you to get all of those design projects done, by me, in ONE day.

It’s a 1:1 intensive where I will work solely on your brand for a solid 7 hours. We cut out the wait time, the meetings, and the back and forth emails and simply get down to (your) business. You’ll get expedited results as we map out your to-do list and get your design projects ticked off fast!

Is it really done-in-a-day?

Abso-bloody-lutely! The best thing about design days is that you get the same amazing quality, the same intensive level of attention, but it’s expedited.

You don’t have months to wait around to find a space in a designer’s schedule, because you’re busy and important and changing the world. And your brand is already beautifully designed, with an infinite amount of assets at your fingertips. What you don’t have is the time (or possibly the skill) to pull together those combinations of fonts, colours, tiles and wrestle with Canva. Honestly, you’ve got better things to do, and a life to live. I get it! That’s why VIP Design Days are the answer.

IS IT FOR ME?

Still wondering if a Design Day is the kind of VIP vibe you’re looking for?

When it comes to design…

  • You don’t have time to do it yourself
  • When you do try (and try and try) it looks like something created in MS Paint ‘95
  • You’re the CEO! Who’s got time for marketing?!
  • You’ve missed countless opportunities just because you couldn’t pull the content together in time (dang it)
  • You need it done, and you need it done… like, yesterday

A Design Day is perfect for you because:

  • You’ve got a need… a need for speed (and you need your designs done in a flash)
  • You’re head over heels for your branding but you’re not quite sure how to use it all
  • You’ve got the capacity to commit to the full 7 hours together
  • You live and breathe great communication and know how important feedback is
  • You’re ready to tick some things off your list (once and for all!)

A Design Day ISN’T for you if you…

  • Need heaps (and heaps) of time to think through changes
  • Can’t commit to a 7 hour block or working hard to tick things off that list of yours
  • Don’t have a great brand… yet! (But don’t worry we can help with that!)
  • Need a website created from scratch (we’re good, but not superhuman)

So what are you waiting for?

FAQs

What can be achieved in the day?

Unfortunately this is a tough one to answer — the amount we get done depends on the scope of work (what’s required), and how much info you provide us with! We suggest aiming for 2-3 main tasks & pop in some extras that we can jump onto if time allows! For a half day, 1-2 main tasks are recommended, with extras listed in case. We will chat through your list of to-do’s in our initial strategy call and will be able to confirm what will be doable then for you.

Can you provide copywriting?

This is not a service that we currently offer in-house but if this is something that you need a hand with we can connect you with the right people so that you can get your copywriting together and finalised before we book in a design day. We recommend that it is best to confirm your content first and then design second.

Do you offer payment plans?

We require prepayment before your design day is booked in. If you need to split the payment up to help with your cash flow we are happy to do so but the day will need to be paid in full before we begin.

What if I don't supply my content in time?

Supplying your content is the only thing that you need to do so that we can organise your design for you. If you are unable to supply your content in a timely manner this is unfortunately out of our control. We wouldn’t recommend booking in a day if you don’t already have in mind what you need designed and content ready to go. We’ve said no to other clients to hold this place for you so we expect you to be organised and have everything ready for us. If we do not receive your content and list of scheduled jobs x3 days before commencement, your design day will be forfeited and you will lose the deposit paid.

What do I need to do

If you are keen to book in a day please fill out the form here > where you will be given the opportunity to start your to-do list and book in an initial strategy call with us.

What happens if I I need to reschedule my day?

We understand that everything doesn’t always go to plan and sometimes we all need to reschedule things due to reasons outside of our control. We ask if you can please provide us notice of at least seven days if you need to reschedule your VIP day to minimise any disruption to our studio flow. If you need to reschedule within 48 hours of your day pass a rescheduling fee may be added to your invoice.

What do I get at the end of the Design Day?

That will depend on the job at hand! If we are creating materials for print, you will receive finished PDF files (print or digital ready) and flat graphics for your design items (once approved). Our Adobe working files are not included, but we are super happy to provide for you for an additional fee if you want to maintain these in-house. If your design day tasks include the creation of Canva, SquareSpace or other templated documentation, these will not require a ‘template fee’.

Additional Revisions

If we dont get everything confirmed in our day additional revisions may be required. To complete these you can either book in an additional Day/Half day or if the changes are minimal these can be added as blocks of time charged at our hourly rate of $150+GST.
