WHY DESIGN HELP USUALLY LETS YOU DOWN

You've probably tried one of these.

Every option out there asks you to trade something you can't afford to lose — time, quality, or control.

Freelance marketplaces

A coin flip, every time.

You're briefing a stranger and hoping for the best. If it doesn't land, there's no one accountable and no do-over built in.

Traditional agencies

Slow, and priced like it.

Weeks of back-and-forth for a first draft, discovery decks before any real work starts, and a rate card that punishes anything short of a full retainer.

Subscription design tools

You're a ticket in a queue.

Work moves when the queue moves, not when you need it. You rarely deal with the same designer twice, and "unlimited" just means "in line."

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT

One day. One designer.
Everything happens in the open.

You book a day. A single curated designer clears their calendar and works exclusively on your brief from 9am to 7pm — not squeezed between five other client tickets.

AI takes the busywork off their plate: variations, resizing, first-pass production. That time gets reinvested into the part software can't do — direction, taste, and getting your brand to feel considered instead of generic.

You watch it happen. Progress checks through the day, not a surprise reveal at 6:59pm.

THE PROCESS

Four steps. One day.

No onboarding calls, no proposal decks — just book, brief, and get it done.

STEP 01

Book your day

Pick an open date on the calendar and tell us what you need — logo, brochure, site, or ad kit.

STEP 02

One-hour brief

We open the sprint with a focused call to lock direction, tone, and the must-haves.

STEP 03

The sprint

Your designer works 9am–7pm. You see drafts and progress as they happen — not at the very end.

STEP 04

Same-day delivery

Walk away with final files and a guaranteed minimum deliverable, defined before you start.

THE TALENT

Interview-vetted designers.
AI-accelerated delivery.

Every designer on the roster passes a live brief test before they ever work with a client. We're picky about taste, and just as picky about being straightforward to work with.

The studio behind this roster has designed for national and international brands — Grifols, Hitachi, Dell, Siemens, and CITGO among them — so the same rigour that shows up on those accounts shows up in your sprint too.

Interview + live brief testNot a portfolio upload — a real brief, timed and reviewed before anyone joins the roster.
AI-assisted, human-directedAI moves fast through variations, mockups and production. Every creative decision is made by your designer.
Backed by agency-level experienceYears of work for national and international brands, now applied to a single day, on your budget.
Same designer, start to finishNo handoffs mid-sprint — the person you brief is the person who delivers.

WHY IT MAKES SENSE

Great design, without the overhead.

Hiring in-house or retaining an agency means paying every month — whether you need design that week or not. A sprint flips that: you pay for the day you actually need, and nothing else.

In-house hire
$60,000+ / year

Salary, benefits, and downtime — paid whether you have projects in the queue or not.

Agency retainer
$3,000–6,000 / month

A minimum monthly spend, onboarding overhead, and scope creep — even in slow months.

One sprint, on demand
$860 CAD / sprint

No retainer, no idle payroll, no contract. Only pay for the day you actually need design.

Most small businesses and founders don't need a full-time designer — they need senior-level design exactly when a project calls for it. That's the whole idea behind pricing this by the day instead of by the month.

$860 CAD per sprint — fixed, no surprises
✓ 9-hour dedicated sprint
✓ 1-hour brief call included
✓ Guaranteed minimum deliverable
✓ Source files included

Q&A

Questions, answered.

A guaranteed minimum deliverable defined before your sprint starts — for example, a logo package includes a primary mark, a secondary lockup, a colour system, and a one-page style guide. We agree on the specifics during your brief call, so there's no ambiguity by 7pm.

Some projects — a full multi-page site, a complete brand system — genuinely need more than one sprint. We'll flag that during booking, and you can add a second day or move to a multi-sprint package instead of stretching one day too thin.

AI handles speed: generating variations, resizing formats, first-pass production work. Every creative decision — direction, typography, colour, what actually ships — is made and directed by your designer. It's there to buy back hours, not to make the calls.

Yes — browse the roster and request someone specific, subject to their availability on your chosen date. If you don't have a preference, we'll match you to the designer best suited to your brief.

Your minimum deliverable is defined and agreed upfront, in writing, during the brief call. If that minimum isn't met, we'll make it right — that's the whole point of scoping it before the sprint, not after.

Payment is fixed at booking confirmation, in CAD or USD. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice after the sprint wraps.

Sprints are scheduled across Eastern and Pacific business hours, built around the Canadian market first. If you're outside Canada and the hours work for you, reach out — we're happy to see if it's a fit.

Your next brand asset doesn't need a retainer.
It needs a day.

Pick a date, brief a vetted designer, walk away with finished work — same day.
