A creative right hand for your small business.
Without hiring for a full-time position.
Monthly design and marketing help for founders who have the ideas, the to-do list, and just not enough hours.
Sound familiar?
You’ve got ideas piling up and no time to turn them into anything.
You need a graphic by Friday and you’re opening Canva again.
Every time you hire help, you’re re-explaining your brand from scratch.
You don’t need an agency. You just need someone who gets your business and can help it keep moving.
That’s what a design bestie is for: someone who already knows your brand and is on your side every month.
How it works
Pick the plan that fits your month. Choose a tier based on how much support you need.
Bring your ideas and requests. Anything from a quick design to a content plan to a marketing problem you’re stuck on.
I turn them into action. Your hours flex across design, strategy, content planning, and creative support.
Repeat each month. Your plan renews monthly. Plans must be committed to for a minimum of 3 months. Unused hours will not roll over into following months.

Why aj designs?
I’m warm, honest, and a little opinionated (in the best way, I promise!), and I treat your business like it’s my own. We’re not just making things look pretty. We’re making sure your design, branding, and marketing actually work together to support your goals.
With both design and marketing knowledge in my back pocket, you get a creative partner who sees the bigger picture, connects the dots, and helps you show up with more clarity and confidence. Think strategy, good design, and a whole lot of personality, all from one design bestie in your corner.
What’s included in your hours
Hours can flex across agreed-upon design, strategy, content planning, and creative support, so you’re not locked into one kind of help.
Who this is for (and who should start somewhere else)
This is for founders who already have a brand and want ongoing support to use it well. If you’re still building your brand, start with [Branding], then come back when you’re ready for a steady creative partner!
Questions you might be asking
What counts as an hour? Every task takes a different amount of time! I track the time I spend working on your projects and share a breakdown with you, so you know exactly where your hours are going.
What if I don't use all my hours? Your hours are reserved for your business each month, so [unused hours expire / roll over according to your plan]. We'll find the right rhythm for your needs!
Can I change plans? Absolutely! Business needs change, and your plan can change with them. You're welcome to upgrade anytime. Downgrades and cancellations are available after your initial three-month commitment.
Do I need to have worked with you before? Not at all! We'll start with a little onboarding to get to know your business, your brand, and what's on your plate. That way, we can hit the ground running and make our time together count.
Why not just hire a freelancer when I need one? You totally can! But every new freelancer means explaining your brand, your goals, and your preferences all over again. As your Design Bestie, I get to know your business over time, so we can skip the getting-to-know-you phase and get straight to making things happen.
