HIRE IN-HOUSE
True annual cost
$90,000/yr
Salary $5,400/mo + benefits, equipment, hiring, management
- • One graphic designer
- • One skill set — no motion, no UX
- Benefits, equipment & office space
- 6–8 week hiring cycle
- You manage performance & output
- Notice period when they quit
- No pause — fixed monthly cost
- Limited work experience — one person's ceiling

Monthly retainer
$10,000/mo
- • Manager + designer layers
- • Quarterly minimums & SOWs
- Long SOWs & quarterly minimums
- Slow, layered turnaround
- Management fees baked into retainer
- Generic output — your industry is one of fifty accounts
- Lock-in — exiting takes a quarter

designs.art Growth
$699/mo
starts at $399/mo
- • Start this week — not after a 6–8 week hiring cycle
- • Senior-level output across all three disciplines
- • First delivery in 24–48h
- No office, payroll, equipment or overheads
- Zero management — brief in, work out
- No notice periods, no attrition risk
- Performance managed for you — art-director reviewed
- Brands spanning 30+ geographies, 10+ industries
An in-house hire needs office space, equipment, management and a notice period when they leave. An agency charges you for its own managers. designs.art gives you all three disciplines, managed and reviewed, at one flat price.

Senior designers. Not interns, not middlemen.
A small, hand-picked team with 8+ years each across brand, product, and motion — ex-agency, ex-in-house at names you'd know. AI leverage, human taste.
How it worksSee the work
The wall does the talking.
We'd rather show than tell. Every discipline, every format, every size of company. Judge us on the pixels, not the paragraph.
