Curious to know how it works?
Take a sneek peek and uncover the magic behind what we do...
Outsourced design sucks!
It's hot mess!
You’ve tried the marketplaces, the unlimited design sites, you’ve even rolled the dice on a freelancer in the past! But the problem is universally the same, the design you get back is a steamy turd, why?
The truth, because all the designers on those sites are required to juggle your project along with a dozen other client projects! They simply can’t spend too much time on one project. The result is rushed, ill thought out designs.
So what's the answer?
If I told you money was no object, fix the problem, you’d instinctively go out and hire a designer of your own, why? Because you know a dedicated designer inside your business, is always going to yield the best results.
So stop settling! By leveraging the power of a global workforce, we make it easy for you to hire your own designer. You still get all the benefits of a full-time employee, but without the crippling ongoing costs.
It’s time to stop out sourcing your design and start building your own in-house design team!
How we fix a broken system!
and why it works
Now you see the answer lies in having a designer of your own (not one being shared with five other companies). The difficulty is how to make that affordable for businesses. That’s what we solve!
We find talented designers
Quality over quantity
Our first step happens long before you’ve even come to us. Our business revolves completely around finding and hiring great graphic designers. It’s a process we’ve put a tonne of effort into and refined over the almost 10 years we’ve been doing it.
Long before you meet any of our design team, they’ve already passed through our comprehensive multi-step process, which includes questionnaires, portfolio reviews, interview and technical skills assessment. Ensure only the top candidates move into our forward.
We train & coach them
Turning knowledge into practical skills
Teaching is paramount in the growth of any designer! Before any of our designers even have the chance to work with you, they’ve already completed our in-house training. Using real life projects, and industry knowledge, we seek to impart practical skills books and university don’t teach.
We focus on communication, consistency, and the desire to be a life long learner. We also provide background knowledge in set industries to help round out their natural skills and allow them to integrate smoothly into your team, starting right from day one!
Select and go
Our designers start inside your team
Although our last step, it’s your first with us!
It’s here we learn about your business, who you need, and the work they’ll be doing. This knowledge allows us to match you up with the designer you need from our talented team. Once we’ve identified who you need, things happen very quickly as we schedule their start date to take place within days not weeks!
From here the selected designer is embedded directly into your business as a remote team member, with zero boundaries or layers between you and them.
✅ No agency layers
✅ No micro managing
✅ Dedicated employee output
Have questions?
No pressure, no pitch – just clarity.
What makes this different?
Most businesses would love an in-house designer – but assume it’s out of reach.
And using a traditional employee model its hard to get your foot in the door and grow. I mean you’ve got salary, taxes, super, insurance, office space and equipment, furniture, and that’s excluding the capital to find, recruit and on-board an employee – all those expenses add up to massive ongoing $$$’s.
But there are other ways to hire...
Covid changed how the world operates, and business along with it. The huge digital push has empowered businesses to be able to look globally for talented individuals to make up their team, without being constrained to your local area only. What we’ve done is make that entire process, stupidly simple.
Best of all, you get all the benefits of having your own full-time designer, who is apart of your business – without the crippling debt of hiring one yourself!
No financial burden
No long-term contracts
No time wasters
Just a brilliant designer, who’s inside your business working with you everyday.
Let’s be honest...

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get someone who specialises in video?
The short answer is no, at present we don’t hire for video editors.
The longer answer is yes and no 🙂
While not a primary skill of a traditional graphic designer, there are a number of our design team that have video editing skills (especially within the social media team). So we do have a limited capacity to cover some video editing requirements. You are of course welcome to hire and train those skills into your new designer, we do also have access to training in this area to assist if required.
Can I give them an Email address?
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Though not a requirement as each designer comes with an email account, its far better if all your team are within your business domain.
Can I physically call our team member?
Absolutely! Once they are apart of your team, you work with them as you would any other member of your team. If you want to setup phone or video calls do so as much as you desire. We place no restrictions on how deeply they integrate into your team. The more you include them in the better they understand your business!
Can I send a Christmas Bonus?
Absolutely, and many do! We take zero fees or commission in the process, so whatever you want to send is exactly what your team member receives.
Do I need to provide any software?
All of our designer placements come with a single license to either Affinity or Adobe so that they can get to work day one inside your business without any issues. Any other apps you require your team to use outside of those two are up to your discretion to provide.
Do they still get holidays?
Yes, like any normal employee they are entitled to holidays. We manage this process with your approval when requests come in. Each team member is entitled to 3 weeks leave annually.
How do public holidays work?
For part-time employees, public holidays are localised to their country. If you take on a full-time employee, you have the option of localising their public holidays to your country, so it aligns with the rest of your team.
How does the freelancer plan work?
The freelancer side of what we offer is still currently be refined and will release shortly, it operates more like a traditional agency whereby we manage all projects you load, and assign the necessary team behind the scenes to complete your project.
How is onboarding handled?
We recommend using the same process you have inplace for your onsite employees. If you’ve never onboarded a team member before, or specifically not a remote one, we are happy to assist. We strongly advocate structuring the first week to focus on helping your new team understand what you do, and who you serve, along with introductions with other members of your team and how work flows in and out. Expect to setup video calls with them to help get to know you better.
We are also working on some video guides to help with this which will be due out shortly.
How long does it usually take to hire?
Typically speaking allow 7-14 days. This gives us time to schedule a call with you, work through options, organise any pre-hiring calls, sign contracts and start your onboarding. If you need a designer urgently it is possible to have one available and in your team within 24-48hrs. We do prefer more time but this is possible.
Why jumping from outsourcing to hiring is like night and day.
8 powerful benefits when you employ your own in-house designer!
Speed & Focus
Get stuff done on your schedule not someone elses.
Our designers are embedded into your business — that means no waiting in queues, submitting tickets, or wondering where your job even is! Talk in real time with your team, get updates as often as you like, and re-arrange their workload as your business needs require.
Creative Ownership
Work that belongs to you — not someone else’s portfolio.
All designers we supply work inside your business, not across a roster of clients. That means all work produced belongs to you! Ensuring the privacy of your clients and their creative ownership stays with you.
Transparency
No more guess work.
If you’ve used agencies, contractors or freelancers in the past, you’ll know they all operate on their own terms, and your work just has to fit into their schedule.
With a designer of your own you can wave those troubles goodbye! You are in complete control, giving you the power to decide what gets done, when and how!
Affordability
Creativity without crippling wages
Hiring a full-time designer means salary, benefits, and risk. We’ve purposely built our service at a price point that supports the growth of your business.
That’s not a ‘pithy catchphrase’, core to our business, is providing you with a sustainable way to grow your agency, minus the overwhelming cost of doing so!
Consistency Everywhere
One brand. One voice. One designer.
Outsourcing often turns your brand into a bit of a dogs breakfast!
But with a dedicated designer you fix all those issues. Why? Because they follow your style and your systems, bringing consistency to everything they touch.
Real-Time Collaboration
Fewer revisions. Better results.
Nothing beats the flexibility of an in-house designer that you can collaborate with in real-time!
Jump on video calls together, instant message updates, brainstorm live, tweak designs mid-project, all lead to better alignment with each other and faster projects!
Unlocks Agency Growth
Add creative power as you grow.
Once you’ve got your first designer, you’ll soon realise you can start working on your business not just in it! In turn, your agency’s workload will increase, and in turn you’ll need more manpower.
When that time comes you can easily add another designer into your team with our service. We’ve made it to grow with you, literally – removing all the hassle of hiring, onboarding, or starting from scratch. You’ll go from needing someone to having them in days.
We Foster Skills
A legendary designer is a well supported one!
As designers ourselves we are big on growth, development and upskilling. Behind the scenes we still work with and support the designers aspirations and level up areas, without needing to tie you up at all.
