What are Dedicated Design Days?

With Dedicated Design Days, you get my complete, dedicated attention on your project over the course of one or more full days.

Instead of spreading your project over the course of several weeks with back & forth revisions and finding availability for meetings, we’ll knock it out together during your reserved day(s).

Dedicated Design Days are a good fit for projects such as:

  • Annual reports

  • Event collateral

  • Marketing campaign materials

  • Sales materials like pitch decks and one sheets

  • Brand asset creation, such as brand icon sets, patterns, or illustrations

  • Social media template kits, created in your Canva account

  • A big checklist of design tasks

  • Landing pages or significant website additions or changes (for past web design clients only)

  • Packaging or label refreshes or new designs (for past packaging design clients only)

Some projects can be completed in a single day, while larger projects (like annual reports or extensive event collateral) may require multiple days.

We’ll discuss your project and determine how many days are needed so we can complete your design work both efficiently and without rushing.

“She was organized, efficient and highly effective, and she quickly understood both my brand and the sensitivity required when communicating with the people we serve.

Working with Alyssa was an incredible experience and a truly worthwhile investment in my company. Together, we created several thoughtful, versatile templates that will allow me to work more efficiently and independently as I continue growing my company. Alyssa brought clarity, organization, guidance, skill and care to the entire process, and I am genuinely grateful for everything we accomplished.

Now that we have completed the project, I feel energized, confident and much better equipped to move my business forward. It was an amazing investment in my business and in building the tools I need for sustainable growth.

What stood out about Amp’d Designs was Alyssa’s organization, efficiency and ability to quickly understand both my brand and the sensitivity required when communicating with the people we serve. She brought strategy and intention to the process, not just creative talent. We accomplished an incredible amount together, and I left with beautiful, useful designs that genuinely support how I need to operate as a small-business owner.

You were AMAZING in your process, Alyssa! That in itself brought so much trust and comfort, and I sincerely thank you for that!

How do Dedicated Design Days work?

When you book your Dedicated Design Days, they’re reserved for exclusive focus on your project only, with no distractions.

1 – Project chat

We’ll talk through the details and determine a) if Dedicated Design Days are the right solution, and if so, b) how many days your project will require.

2 – Reserve your days

We’ll get your project on the calendar with 1 or more days, which may be booked consecutively or within a day or so of each other. The latter is a great solution if you’d like time to discuss and approve our progress with team members between days.

Because these days are reserved exclusively for your project only, your full payment will be due to secure your dates in the calendar.

3 – Project preparation

We’ll make sure we have everything we need to make the most of our time together on your reserved day(s). You’ll provide all finalized copy, photos, logos, brand guidelines, project specs, and any other required information at least 2 days before your Dedicated Design Day.

Leading up to your day(s), I’ll also be available via email to provide guidance and answer any questions as needed.

4 – Your Dedicated Design Day(s)

If needed, we’ll start the day with a brief Zoom meeting to confirm details and priorities. Then, I’ll focus entirely on your project from 9:30-5:00 EST (with a break for lunch) on your reserved day(s). (Alternate hours may be arranged for west coast clients.)

I ask that you are available via email during this time, as well, to review and approve proofs.

5 – Delivery

That’s a wrap! Upon your final approval, I’ll send over all final deliverables and you’ll be equipped to roll your project out right away. For projects that are approved very close to 5:00pm, you’ll receive your final deliverables in the morning on the following business day.

6 – Support

If you need to request approval from another member in your organization, I include 2 additional hours of design time after your Dedicated Design Day(s). This means that we can get your project as close to completion as possible, with room to tweak if needed after reviewing with your team. These hours can be used any time in the 2 weeks following your day(s).

“I love the Design Day concept. It is brilliant. I have worked with other designers where the process took weeks to months. This was fast, efficient and very satisfying.

We had a curriculum and a slide deck that were not branded or organized. Both has been through multiple iterations and needed some love to be brought together in a unified way. Alyssa was very fast and efficient. She spotted details we had missed. Her work is beautiful and aligned perfectly with our vision. [I feel] Relieved! Satisfied! Positive!”

—Murphy, Mountain BizWorks

“I enjoyed having a focused day to get the project complete. I felt like it got us through the project quicker than the alternative of back and forth over weeks of project check ins.

We needed to finalize a course with a new workbook and presentation slides, as well as a design refresh. [Now,] we have a cleaner and brand centered course. I really enjoy your clear communication. It is a critical part of the experience of working with you.”

—Holly, Mountain BizWorks

  • You and your team are able to dedicate the same availability to providing feedback and approvals

  • You want to focus on a specific initiative or campaign, or you want to knock out a long list of design tasks efficiently

Dedicated Design Days are a great fit for:

  • Established brands with clear brand guidelines

  • Nonprofit annual reports or event materials

  • Past clients of Amp’d Designs who need support with a large project or long design task list

  • Businesses and organizations that value and trust the expertise of a professional designer and efficient collaboration

Kindly note that Design Days are not offered for new brand identity designs or mini brands, new website designs or redesigns, or edits to existing logos or websites that were not designed by Amp’d Designs.

“Clear and timely communication. Clean designs, love the creative! We would work with her time and time again.

The designer we typically work with for exhibition wall design was unavailable to support the project due to a very quick turnaround. We were struggling not only to design our wall text, but also the installation design in general.

Everything [exceeded our expectations]. Alyssa was wonderful to work with. She communicated well, had a clear work plan, and provided a quick turnaround on the design. Alyssa is a great collaborator, and I recommended that we work with Amp'd Designs again for future projects.”

—Mellanee, Center for Craft

Why work with Alyssa?

When we collaborate, you get high-level strategy and attention to detail.

My background includes ample brand, print, and web design work, high-end and speciality print and prepress setup, work as an art director in New York City, over a decade of professional experience as a graphic designer, and 9+ years running Amp’d Designs full-time.

This experience means I’m able to easily understand and work within established visual brand guidelines, creating new designs that are both fresh and cohesive with your existing identity.

When we work together, you get design that is thoughtful, polished, and production-ready.

“You really listened to what we were looking for, understood our vision, and were able to bring it to life without making the process feel overwhelming.

We’re really happy with how everything turned out. Having professional, cohesive graphics gives us a much stronger presence online and makes our brand feel more established and polished. I think it will also make it much easier for us to continue creating content and maintaining a consistent look moving forward.

I really appreciated how easy the collaboration was. You took the ideas and direction we provided and turned them into designs that felt even better than what we had envisioned. You were also very responsive, open to feedback, and made the process feel simple and stress-free. The process was very straightforward and easy to navigate. Communication was great, and everything was completed in a timely manner.

What stood out most was how easy and enjoyable you made the process. You really listened to what we were looking for, understood our vision, and were able to bring it to life without making the process feel overwhelming. The combination of creativity, responsiveness, and professionalism really set Amp’d Designs apart.”

—Stephanie, Franklin Farms East

“Your process is so efficient! You did everything we needed and more!

From the consultant side, I LOVE that you offer the Dedicated Design Day service. It’s super helpful to have small needs addressed quickly. Your process — kick-off session to feedback session to revisions to final product — is so efficient! Your mid-day meeting was great because it clarified the remaining items and everyone left feeling great! You did everything we needed — and more! Thank you!!”

—Emily, Lumos Communications

Reach out about Dedicated Design Days for your project:

Start by submitting the form below to help determine if your project is a good fit for a Dedicated Design Day, and I’ll respond within 1-2 business days to talk about our next steps!

  • One Dedicated Design Day is $2,000.00. Your full payment is due to book your day(s).

  • During our initial conversation, I’ll determine how many days we’ll need to complete your project. With 8+ years of running my independent design business and tracking my time on all projects, I’m very good at estimating how long things will take!

    Following your day(s), you’ll also receive 2 hours of additional design support, which can be used any time during the following 2 weeks in case additional edits are needed.

    In cases where we have much more work to do, or changes or additions to our initial scope, we can either continue at my hourly rate over the following weeks, or you may book an additional Dedicated Design Day.

  • Rest assured that I am not in the business of nickel-and-diming anyone, so if your project can fit into one day, one day is what we will book.

    That said, you will get the best results and highest quality when I am not rushing, skipping lunch, or asking you to turn around unreasonably fast approvals on your end. Larger projects (like annual reports, multi-page documents, and comprehensive event collateral) will most likely require more than one day.

  • It’s best to book your Dedicated Design Day(s) 1-3 months in advance of when you need your project completed. While these days make extremely efficient use of our time together, they are generally not available immediately, as my calendar tends to book up weeks advance.

  • Yes! Sometimes it’s easier to hop on a call and talk through feedback, and we can coordinate calls throughout the day as needed.

    Kindly note that while Zoom may be used for discussing feedback, I’m not able to work on designs live while you watch or instruct. My process works best when I can take time to review notes, explore design directions, and make intentional decisions, then present finished designs to you once they’re ready.

  • Yes, I can! I do commonly work on comprehensive projects like these at flat fees, which are quoted ahead of time. This can also be a great option, it just depends on your goals.

    With a flat fee quote, you receive:

    • A price for a specific scope of work, including exact deliverables and project specs

    • A specific number of revision rounds

    • An estimated timeline, typically spanning several weeks

    • More time for back and forth with your team, and between us

    • Changes to the quoted scope of work may incur additional fees, and additional rounds of revisions may be made at my hourly rate

    With Dedicated Design Days, you receive:

    • A wider scope of work, within reason; if specifics change, as long as we can still get everything done within your reserved day(s), there is no extra cost

    • No revision limit; we can make as many rounds of revisions as needed during your day(s)

    • Quicker turnaround; instead of stretching your project across several weeks, we’re completing everything during your reserved day(s)

    All in all, both can be great options depending on how you’d like to work. Happy to talk through which option is the best fit for you!

  • I don’t use AI tools to create designs during our work together. When you work with me, you’re working with a human being. I use my brain, hands, and graphic design skills.

    On your end, while it can be tempting to speed up your project even more by using AI to provide feedback on design proofs, using AI this way can actually make our project more difficult. AI-provided feedback tends to be confusing and not aligned with our goals and strategy, and AI seeks to find issues even when there are none. For this reason, please note that AI-provided feedback is not permitted during the design process.

    For more information about how AI is and isn’t used during the design process, please see my full AI policy here.
