If you’re in need of dedicated, on-going design expertise, I currently have some retainer availability! These are really useful for businesses that need fast turnaround, high level creative work without the commitment of hiring.
Monthly retainers offer the opportunity for us to work together with an agreement that suits you. My on-going relationships vary from client to client, depending on the work needed and amount of time required. Furthermore, they’re completely flexible and there’s no commitment to 6 or 12 month contracts.
With invoices paid at the start of each month, you then have my time available to book for as many hours or days you choose. Your booked time can be assigned to pre-agreed days each week, or completely flexible – where you send me tasks as and when you need them completed!
What are the benefits?
You're a priority
As a retainer client, your projects receive top priority each month and will be scheduled into my calendar first. Any last minute requests will be turned around as soon as possible.
Peace of mind
You’ll have my design expertise available 6 days a week, 12 months of the year. Ready for every call, email, meeting and project that I’m needed!
No surprises
Retainers help keep costs controlled, so you know exactly how much you’re spending each month – rather than last minute design fees and unexpected invoices
Discounted rates
Retainers offer a fantastic opportunity to save money over ad-hoc fixed prices, day bookings and hourly rates. You can save further every month with fixed term agreements, or opt for the flexible rolling agreement.
Save money
We can setup a retainer for as many or little hours as you need per month. Meaning no time and money is wasted.
Business growth
Assigning ad-hoc or regular design tasks to me, allows yourself and colleagues to focus on what you do best – knowing designs will be completed to a high standard and sent back as soon as possible.
Complete flexibility
You’re able to start, pause and cancel retainer agreements as you please – meaning you can react to workload and business development.

What clients have said…
“When I first asked Kane to help with some rebranding work for our company, at first I was apprehensive as we had had difficult experiences with other designers in the past. Kane couldn't have been more helpful. He stuck to the brief whilst being creative and coming up with ideas and suggestions that I never would have thought of myself. I didn't once feel like any changes or amendments were too much to ask and I was always impressed by his professionalism and passion for his work. We have since worked on numerous projects from logos & letterheads to websites and Kane approaches all of these tasks with the same diligent attitude. I highly recommend him to all who ask.”
– Ethan Edwards, Oakensen
"I'm very reluctant to share this testimonial if it means we get less of Kane's time! As well as being a brilliant designer, he's an absolute superstar who has produced consistently high quality work. I'm always impressed at the lengths he goes to complete a job and a real joy to spend time with. I'd highly recommend working with Kane (over and above the hours he works with us!)"
– Sam Reynolds, Zero Deposit
“Kane has delivered on various projects for us, from rebranding to product packaging development to general design requirements. He has always delivered professional work to the required deadline, we’ve found his creative thinking nails the brief. I couldn’t recommend Kane enough.”
– Dan Duncan, Nutrisure
“I’ve worked with Kane time and time again; both for Roast Kings and my own client projects as a Marketing Consultant, simply because you can’t fault him. His speed and ability to transfer faint ideas in to actual designs (that are far better than anything I could image) is priceless! If you’re on the fence about a Graphic Designer, look no further!”
– Nathan Matthews, Roast Kings
Frequently Asked Quesetions
Are your retainers fixed or rolling monthly?
I’m always open to agreeing fixed or rolling retainers. Fixed agreements offer better rates at 6 or 12 month terms, whereas rolling monthly retainers give you ultimate flexibility and control of when you need my time, and how long for.
Do you have set package and prices?
I don’t have set packages as prices because I believe every client relationship is different, and I wouldn’t want to fit each interaction within a pre-made template. I’m more than happy to chat through all elements of design work and potential retainers, making sure we get the best setup, service and value possible.
Can I have something different each month?
Of course! You’re welcome to brief my time with whatever design work you need completing. It may be presentation and pitch deck designs one month, then brand identity and packaging design the next. Of course if you’d also like me to create a set number of regular and consistent assets every month, that sounds good to me too!
Are hours rolled over if they aren’t used?
Unfortunately not – your hour/day allocation refreshes each month to make sure I can still offer the same consistent, responsive and dedicated level of service all year round without any troubles or problems.
When will invoices be sent?
Invoices are due to be paid at the start of each month upfront. This allows you to pay for exactly what you use and any overtime can be agreed and added to the following month if needed!
Can retainers be cancelled stress free?
Absolutely! I’m incredibly understanding and am aware that requirements and businesses change. Ideally 1 month notice is given, but this can be waived for a small fee.
