1 / Full Suite Design
Access to my full suite of creative service offers --with strategy + design implementation, additional assets like stock photography provided if needed.
​
Big projects with a gala, event, and/or interactive digital or website component would typically benefit the most from either the 3-month or the 6-month intensive.
​
Coordination with other specialist functions including: public relations, event production, media, digital marketing, specialty print shops, photography & videography.
​
Note: These design-adjacent functions are NOT included. But I will provide the design leadership and all the design assets they need, and guide the creative execution all the way to the finish line. If you would like any of those adjacent specialist functions included in our engagement, I would be happy to help you. Please contact me and ask for a non-standard custom quote.
​​
​
Well designed systems and processes are in place to ensure responsive two-way communication -- even if we live in different continents and time zones!
2 / Bespoke
Solutions tailored just for you. Thoughtful designs for your brand and your specific goals.
3 / Strategy & Creative Direction
Discovery and strategy sessions are included (and required for new clients)
​
Our sessions may include: discovery, customer journey mapping, impact narratives, customer (donor) experience design, brand strategy (specifically for the purposes of fundraising), roadmap, implementation
​
Creative direction provided to your partner media and event production agencies if needed, to ensure coherence of brand and creative execution across multiple channels
​
(Note: Services of media, PR, photography & videography, and event production agencies are separate and NOT included. But I will collaborate with your preferred vendors or in-house staff as needed, all the way to the finish line.)

Editable design files of key art and its derivative collaterals are NOT included.
​
(Extra charges apply if you want the raw Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects, Animate, or Premiere Pro files. Stipulations around royalties may also be required.)
Award-winning expertise, simple and affordable pricing
01
Feel safe about investing in expertise: Service as subscription
Flexible, modular packages: My simple, service-as-subscription model respects the dynamic needs of a typical donor- or public- facing project, where the scope might be hard to grasp at first, and where things might be constantly evolving. You receive quality service and expertise, no matter which plan you choose.
What are the deliverables? I co-create them with you. I will likely have a good idea of your design needs, depending on your season of fundraising or the type of gala you are planning. But we will dig deep nonetheless, just to make sure we are designing and solving for the right problem.
Having fractional access to a seasoned creative & communications specialist, conveniently when you need one, and only when the project's stakes demand it -- that's a tremendous value! You enjoy the benefits without having to pay for top-tier senior-level talent all year. That gives you flexibility, and frees up your resources for your other strategic priorities.
​
A typical client project would engage me somewhere between 2 to 6 months.
03
Intensives. Because time x quality = a premium.
My intensives are designed to deliver high quality at speed, without the pain of dragging projects for an unnecessarily long time. (A well seasoned, highly skilled designer with deep specialties in your industry and sector will tend to iterate faster.)
​
The less streamlined the approval process is on your side, the more it will cost you. To get the most value out of our intensives, I highly recommend some internal work first that aligns your decision-makers to prioritize the campaign, gala, or pitch deck that we will be working on together for the next 2, 3, or 6 months. When such stakeholder onboarding is done well, it should translate into a smooth approval process overall.
I only take a very limited number of clients each time to ensure a high-touch quality service. I have access to seasoned talent partners as needed; however, the creative magic and strategic thinking comes from me. Every client receives personal attention and care from me.
​
And I will listen and co-create with you, with genuine respect and humility. When you trust me with your most valued projects, it means the world to me.
02
Affordable? Yes.
250% times YES.
10K per month for strategy-driven bespoke services by an award-winning designer with a multi-disciplinary design skills stack, 15 years of experience, deep expertise in your industry/sector, and specialization in designing for high-value donors & audiences -- that is a STEAL. Not every designer out there has been deep in the trenches of successfully executing for the demands of multi-billion-dollar fundraising and galas for top-tier audiences.
Not every designer would understand this unique field the way I do. You need a designer who can bring in so much more than just principled obsession over fonts and swatches. What I bring to the table has been crystallized and informed by something far more meaningful. Signature marquee events are one of the things I do well as a designer: I have designed them, I have been a producer, I have been a guest at such events, I have been invited as speaker at some. I have a good understanding of them on both the client/guest and designer/creative producer sides.
​
I have seen consultants in suits come in to facilitate workshops for 2 or 3 days -- and charge 20K upwards per session. Or online businesses who charge 6K+ for only one "VIP Day" of building a basic, templated website / social media / funnel, etc.
I help with strategy AND implementation, I have sophisticated advanced trainings (design + communication + creativity & innovation in business), focused experience, the specialty, awards and creds to tailor solutions for you, and you have access to my services for at least a month! My prices are a STEAL.
In the private sector, a design leader with a high-value skills stack, insights, advanced education, and professional experience comparable to mine, can command much, much higher rates (up to 250% more!).
At philosophie studio, YOU only get the top-tier talent and utmost respect. Nothing less.
04
Adjacent industries and market sectors welcome
Billion-dollar level fundraising and galas is my sweet spot. But my vibrant, luxe aesthetic also lends well to other kinds of sophisticated events. I also design for corporate events, conferences, award galas, travel & tourism destination showcases, art & film exhibits, and progressive fashion shows. Get in touch; I'd be thrilled to meet you!
​
If you are a non-profit or startup with significantly tighter budgets but interested in working together, please initiate a conversation nonetheless! If budget is the only issue but all the other conditions exist to create beautifully designed experiences with impact, I might be able to help you in some way. Please get in touch to initiate a conversation.
(I would be looking for things like the mission, the leadership, the organization's culture, the potential impact I could make, the personalities of the decision-makers and stakeholders, the value that your project will add to my business portfolio, and the motivation for change that warrants a big design involvement.)
