A Designer Day Intensive is a focused, single-day engagement dedicated entirely to your brand—designed to move stalled work forward with clarity and intention.
For the rebrand that’s close but unresolved. The website that needs a sharper edge. The materials waiting for a final, confident pass. This is concentrated creative direction and design—structured, efficient, and thoughtfully executed.
-
I. Kickoff and Clarity
We reserve your date, define what matters most, and shape the day around a small number of meaningful outcomes. You’ll share your priorities, context, and any existing assets; we translate that into a focused plan for what can be thoughtfully completed in a day.
By the time your Designer Day arrives, you’ll know exactly what we’re working toward and what you can expect to walk away with.
Includes:
- Project roadmap: A simple, prioritized outline of what we’ll tackle and in what order.
- Aligned expectations: Scope and deliverables confirmed in advance.
Outcome:
- A clear, grounded direction that sets the tone for a focused and productive day.
-
II. Focused Design Sprint
Your project is our only focus for the day, with no competing work or divided attention. We move through strategy, design, or web refinement with intention, bringing your brand into clearer visual and verbal alignment.
You don’t need to be “on” all day. We share thoughtful check‑ins and progress snapshots, so you can respond to direction without being tied to your screen.
Includes:
- Dedicated time: A full day with your project at the center.
- Meaningful progress: Considered design work that moves your project toward a clear, strategic direction.
Outcome:
- A more defined, elevated expression of your brand that feels ready for its next phase.
-
III. Refine and Deliver
Once the work has been refined, you’ll receive a considered wrap‑up: final files, updates, or strategic outputs, organized and labeled for easy implementation.
Includes:
- Clear summary: A concise overview of what was created, updated, and decided.
- Use‑ready assets: Completed deliverables, prepared for use across your chosen platforms.
Outcome:
- Thoughtfully finished assets that support a clearer, more intentional expression of your brand.
-
IV. Guidance and Support
For seven days after your session, we’re available for small follow-up questions and next-step clarity, ensuring you feel supported beyond the intensive itself.
Includes:
- Post‑project support: A week of access for small questions and refinements.
- Next‑step guidance: Direction on how to implement and sustain the work.
Outcome:
- A clear path forward, supported by thoughtful direction as you integrate the work.
Frequently asked questions
-
The investment is $600 for a half‑day or $1200 for a full‑day intensive.
-
A Designer Day is ideal for projects that need focused, considered attention rather than a full build. Common sessions include:
refining brand elements (typography, colour, foundations)
shaping a Squarespace page
preparing launch materials
elevating templates or marketing assets
improving layout, hierarchy, or website visuals
creating simple design collateral
If you’re unsure whether your project fits, you can share your ideas in your enquiry and we’ll outline what’s possible.
-
Each session is shaped around your priorities. Most full‑day intensives result in:
one fully refined asset, or
meaningful progress across several smaller items
It’s a day of focused creative direction and design that moves your project forward in a tangible, considered way.
-
A Half Day is suited to smaller refinements, single assets, or focused adjustments that don’t require exploration. A Full Day allows for deeper work when a project benefits from more strategy, development, or time.
If you’re unsure which is right, we’ll recommend the best fit based on your goals.
-
Once your date is reserved, we’ll outline exactly what to send. This usually includes a short brief, any brand assets you’d like us to use, and the goals you want to prioritize.
-
No. You’re welcome to go about your day. We’ll check in at key moments and share progress updates, but you’re not required to be present throughout. We recommend being available for three touchpoints—morning, midday, and before we wrap—so we can collaborate effectively.
-
In most cases, yes. If your project involves design files, graphics, layouts, or implemented website updates, you’ll receive them at the end of your session.
For work that’s more strategic—such as SEO or content refinement—you may receive items like an SEO report or written recommendations instead of design files.
Before your intensive, we’ll outline exactly what your deliverables will be so you know what to expect.
-
We commit fully to the agreed scope, and most Designer Days are completed within that timeframe.
If something unexpected arises—such as a technical issue, platform limitation, or a shift in direction during the session—we’ll discuss the best next step.
This may look like:
completing small remaining tasks at no extra cost (if the delay was technical), or
booking an additional half‑day or full‑day if the scope has expanded or further refinement would be valuable.
-
Yes. You’ll have seven days of post‑session support for small questions or clarifications, ensuring you feel confident implementing or building on the work.
-
A Designer Day is ideal if you:
have a project that is stalled or half‑finished
feel unsure how to make the next decision
want a professional eye on your work
need clarity and completion without a long timeline
prefer a guided process rather than managing everything alone
If that feels familiar, this is likely a strong fit.
