I help growing teams with consistent design on-demand
A graphic design retainer that gives marketing teams consistent, on-brand output without the cost of a full-time hire.
Your marketing team designer
without hiring full-time.
You have campaigns to run. Content to post. Ads to launch. But your design keeps falling behind.
Think of me as your design team, without the hiring, the management, or the big salary.
Sound familiar?
Growing marketing teams hit the same three walls. Each one quietly drains time, money, and brand consistency.
You're designing in Canva.
It works, until it doesn’t. Your brand starts to look inconsistent, and your marketing feels like different people made it with different styles.
You're chasing freelancers.
Good designers are hard to find. When you find one, they’re often busy. Briefs take time, revisions take longer, and next month you’re searching again.
You're asking the team to handle it.
Your team is all hands. Someone on the team is “good with design.” They’re not a designer. They know it. You know it. The work quietly shows it.
Three steps. Then it runs itself.
No onboarding calls, no agency processes. You send tasks, I deliver design. That’s the whole system.
Subscribe to the package
It is a monthly plan. You pay after we agree to work together. You can cancel anytime. There is no pause option; just don’t pay for the next month.
Send tasks as they come up
Send it on WhatsApp or email. Tell me what you need and share any references or brand files. I will add it to the queue. I can also join your project management tool.
Receive your designs
I work on one task at a time with full focus. I deliver the first version in 24 to 48 hours, then refine it until it meets your needs.
Everything your marketing team needs to look its best.
From social content to campaign assets, if it goes in front of an audience, I can design it.
Social media design
Posts, carousels, stories, and profile assets for LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and X consistent with your brand, every time.
Static ad creatives
Display ads, paid social ads, and remarketing banners designed to match your brand and built to convert.
Landing page design
Full-page designs ready for your dev team, or static mockups your team can build directly from.
Flyers and print materials
Event flyers, brochures, handouts, and print-ready files formatted correctly for your printer.
Event backdrops and signage
Stage backdrops, banners, booth graphics, and event collateral sized and ready for printing.
Logos and product marks
Modern and clean logo designs for internal tools, new product launches, or campaign sub-brands.
Design that performs in the real world.

They stopped the search. Here's why.
Clients who didn’t want to hire in-house designers.
"Sarmad is a very insightful designer (visual, social media, web design) and is great to work with. He has prepared many logos and websites for our different companies and we were always satisfied with the results. He is always on time and accommodating, and able to successfully complete any tasks with favorable results despite deadline pressure. ”
Seda RoederDirector, Sonophilia"Sarmad checks all the important boxes when it comes to a graphic designer: 1. He is very technical, 2. He is very efficient, 3. And he always comes up with a much better design that I could have possibly imagined. What I love about working with Sarmad is, that he always does everything he can, to get the job done in the best possible way. Long story short: I love working with Sarmad!"
Stephan ParkPark & Write GmbH"I want you to know that your work is genuinely valued here. I’ve also received very positive feedback from the team about your designs and the quality of what you deliver, which we truly appreciate after the two years you’ve been with us."

Built for a specific kind of team.
This isn’t a general design service. It’s built for marketing teams that have real, graphic design retainer needs and want them handled without the overhead.
Ideal Fit
- You are already a growing company
- Need design output every week, not occasionally
- Work in SaaS, professional services, education, or sales
- Want a design partner, not an employee
- More tasks than your team can handle in-house
Not the right fit
- Need packaging, 3D, or complex illustration
- Need video editing or motion design
- Need a full brand identity built from scratch
- Need someone live on calls or in standups
- You need designer on call for urgent tasks
Before you book the call.
The questions that usually come up answered directly.
Most tasks are completed within 1–2 business days. More complex deliverables like full landing page layouts or multi-format ad sets may take 2–3 days. You’ll always know the status of your active task.
They go into a queue and I work through them in order, one at a time. There’s no limit on how many you can submit. The queue approach means each task gets full focus rather than divided attention.
WhatsApp or email whichever you prefer. Describe what you need, share any references or existing brand files, and it goes straight into work. No project management platforms or lengthy intake forms.
We revise until it’s right. Unlimited revisions means exactly that no caps on rounds, no charges for extra feedback. A clear brief typically gets you there in one or two passes.
Yes to both. If you have a slow month, pause the retainer with a week’s notice and resume when you’re ready. If you need to cancel entirely, there are no contracts or cancellation fees.
Absolutely. The majority of my clients are US-based, but the retainer works for any time zone. Everything is handled asynchronously over WhatsApp or email, so geography isn’t a constraint.
Primarily Adobe Creative Suite Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma. Deliverables are provided in whatever format your team needs: PNG, PDF, AI, PSD, SVG.
Freelancers require briefing from scratch, back-and-forth on context, and a new search when they’re unavailable. On retainer, I’m already familiar with your brand after few weeks, your standards, and your preferences, which means faster turnaround and more consistent output over time.
Let's find out if we're a good fit.
We’ll talk through what your team needs, look at what you’re working with, and figure out together if this makes sense.
- 20 minutes
- No commitment
- You'll know if it's a fit by the end
