Time is precious when you’re working solo. Between nurturing client relationships, executing marketing strategies, and managing finances, who has time for lengthy design processes?

That’s why I introduced Design in a Day. It’s perfect for those of us with ambitious goals but tight schedules.

Introducing Design in a Day

Design in a Day is a sprint-style way of working, featuring same-day collaboration and next day project delivery. It cuts out prolonged revisions, endless emails, and weeks of waiting for results with an efficient approach that you to seize new opportunities and drive your entrepreneurial journey forward.

With Design in a Dayyou will

Forget time-consuming, back-and-forth convoluted emails.

Say hello to a no-fluff, get-sh*t-done, collaborative solution!

Launch with on point visuals, and more importantly, credibility!

Invest in custom designs that magnetically attract your ideal client without waiting months.

Ditch DYI design with professional assets that are specifically created for your unique offering. 

What’s Possible?

Design in a Day is a one day sprint with yours truly!

I cut through the noise and capture your values and aesthetic to produce the materials you need. Here’s an idea of what we can accomplish in just one day:

A Simple Visual Identity

A simple visual identity with 2 concepts, a brand mark, colours, typography and one page brand guide.

Marketing Assets

Once your brand is complete, use Design in a Day to create additional assets for your marketing. Think, a one page website or a sales funnel,  iconography/illustration sets, stationery, EDMs etc.

Your choice of tasks

Is there anything else on your design wish list that needs checking off? Let’s work to make sure every client touchpoint is aligned with your brand.

          A month of email support

          I’m here for you baby! I’ll be available to answer questions that you may have over the following month.

            Got questions?

            Can you promise me specific outcomes?

            Firstly it is important to note that when you book with me you are not locking in a fixed set of deliverables, you are locking in my time. A day of me working on your business alone. I do however structure the prep work so that we have everything we need at our fingertips on the day. Our productivity comes down to you completing your pre-day work to the best of your ability as well as how responsive you are on our Design Day. 

              Can you get a Brand done in A day?

              Like I said above, this all depends on how well you do your pre-day work (I will give you guidance on this) and responsive you are on the day. Having said that, creating a brand in a day is possible because I cut out the unnecessary details. I have over 20 years of design experience; a lot of that in the fast paced world of startups. I deliver quality and value efficiently and I have fine-tuned my skills and processes to get the most out of our time together. 

              I'm worried I'll feel rushed

              Design in a Day is a fast paced style of working. It’s designed for those who want to cut out the fluff and are ready to make moves in their business. We do have plenty of preparation time in the lead up to our day to allow you to get into the right headspace, and don’t forget there is the additional hour of work after your day so we can make any minor changes once you have had time to reflect

                What if we need more time at the end of the day?

                In our discovery call, we will chat about what we can achieve. I will advise if I think we require more time; this can be common for complex tasks. Again, as mentioned above, what we achieve can also come down to how responsive you are on the day. Rest assured though, I do have your best interest at heart and will always let you know if I feel something is unachievable in a day.

                  What if I need to cancel or postpone?

                  When you pay for your Design in a Day, you are locking in your time in my diary. I also provide you with valuable IP that I use for the branding process or other design assets. For that reason, I cannot offer refunds; however, you can reschedule your Design in a Day at least 10 business days prior with written notice. If you need to reschedule within 10 days of your Design Day, there is a 25% rescheduling fee.

                    "Kate is a very clever and talented designer who understands the value of effective branding. Kate taught me that content dictates design. This allowed me to determine the most important aspects of my brand and website and to provide this information to Kate so she could build the website in the best possible way. Through good communication, ongoing feedback and understanding my brand vision, Kate delivered a result that exceeded my expectations. In order to get the final product perfect, I would send Kate multiple emails with many questions and suggestions, and she took the time to respond to and workshop every single detail until I was completely satisfied.

                    If you are looking for a designer that has the skills and expertise to help bring your brand to life, and is easy to work with, I gladly recommend the services of Kate Hall. She is first class!"

                    Aleisha Rasheed

                    "I highly recommend Kate. The biggest value for me in choosing Kate over any other website designer was that Kate could take the vague explanation I gave her about what I wanted and produce something that was exactly as I had envisioned and hoped for. Kate was very patient with me as my understanding of all things tech is very limited but she patiently walked me through anything I had to do myself and took control of everything else. And on top of all that, she is a really great person to deal with. Thanks Kate!"

                    "Kate was amazing to work with! She created my business logo, branding guide, business cards and website, all which I absolute love (and get incredible feedback all the time) with a professional yet down to earth approach. Nothing was too hard and she talked me through the whole progress. Can’t recommend this lovely lady highly enough. Thanks again Kate."

Her work ethic and communication is something hard to find and I am glad to have trusted such an incredible creative to bring my vision to life. You are an absolute gem, thank you so so much. HIGHLY RECOMMEND."
