Creative Direction Retainer - Sandy Creative

Monthly creative direction that keeps your brand on point.

Monthly creative direction for businesses that already have a brand but need consistent, strategic execution. No more scrambling for a designer every time you need something.

Get Started

You have a brand. You have a logo. You even have brand guidelines (maybe).

But every time you need social graphics, an email header, a presentation, or a one-pager, you're stuck.

Do you DIY it and hope it looks decent? Do you scramble to find a designer who's available, understands your brand, and won't take two weeks?

The problem isn't your brand. It's that you don't have consistent creative support.

That's what the Creative Direction Retainer solves.

You get me as your ongoing creative partner. Someone who knows your brand inside-out and can execute everything you need - social graphics, templates, presentations, collateral - without you having to explain it every single time.

No more firefighting. No more "good enough" DIY graphics. Just consistent, on-brand creative work every month.

How It Works

1

Brand Alignment Session (Required First Step)

$1,750 (one-time, included in first month)

Before we start the retainer, we need to document your brand strategy and visual guidelines. Even if you already have a brand, this session ensures I understand it deeply enough to execute confidently without asking you a million questions every time.

My brand strategist, Rachel, conducts a 90-minute session to audit your existing brand, extract your strategy, and create clear guidelines for all future creative work.

What You Get:

  • 90-minute brand audit session with Rachel
  • Review of existing brand materials
  • Brand Strategy Brief documenting your voice, positioning, and messaging
  • Visual brand guidelines (if you don't have them already)
  • Strategic priorities for the next 6 months

Timeline: 2 weeks from session to brief delivery

Why this matters: This is what allows me to become an extension of your team, not just another order-taking designer. Once I have this foundation, I can execute quickly and strategically without constant back-and-forth.

Monthly Creative Direction Retainer

$1,500/month (ongoing)

Once the Brand Alignment Session is complete, you're set up for ongoing retainer support. Each month, you get strategic creative work - not just execution, but creative direction that keeps your brand consistent and effective.

Monthly Capacity:

  • 3 project requests OR 12 hours (whichever comes first)
  • 2 revision rounds per deliverable
  • 30-minute monthly strategy call
  • 48-hour turnaround on most requests
  • Strategic creative direction (not just order-taking)

Unused capacity policy: Use it or lose it. Capacity doesn't roll over month-to-month.

Contract minimum: Month-to-month (cancel anytime with 30 days notice), but I recommend a 3-month minimum commitment for best results.

What's Included Each Month

3 project requests OR 12 hours - whichever comes first

Monthly Strategy Call

30-minute call where we plan your creative priorities for the month. Not just "what do you need?" but strategic guidance on what will actually move the needle.

Project Requests

Submit up to 3 projects per month through your project management system. I confirm timelines within 24 hours and deliver drafts within 48 hours.

Revision Rounds

2 revision rounds per deliverable. That means initial draft, your feedback, refined version, your feedback, final version.

Strategic Creative Direction

I'm not just executing what you tell me to do. I'm giving you strategic guidance on what will work best for your brand and audience.

What Counts as ONE Project?

These are typical examples of what you can request each month:

Social media graphics set (up to 5 posts)
Email template or header design
One-pager or sales sheet
Presentation deck (up to 10 slides)
Brand application guidance
Campaign creative concept
Event materials (signage, handouts, etc.)

What's NOT Included

  • New brand identity work (that's the Brand Identity Package)
  • Website design/builds (separate project)
  • Video production
  • Same-day rush requests (or we can discuss rush fees)
  • Copywriting (I provide creative direction; you provide copy)

Perfect For

Businesses that already have a brand but struggle with consistent execution
Entrepreneurs who are tired of DIYing their graphics and want them to actually look professional
Growing businesses that need ongoing creative support but aren't ready to hire a full-time designer
Anyone launching campaigns, products, or events who needs consistent creative execution
Business owners who want a creative partner who actually understands their brand (not just takes orders)

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I HAVE to do the Brand Alignment Session?

Yes. Even if you already have brand guidelines, the alignment session ensures I understand your brand deeply enough to execute strategically. Without it, I'm just guessing - and that defeats the purpose of having a retainer.

What if I already had a Brand Visual Audit with you?

Great! The full $750 you paid for the audit credits toward the Brand Alignment Session. So instead of $3,250 for the first month, you'd pay $2,500 total.

What if I don't use all 3 project requests in a month?

Unused capacity doesn't roll over. This keeps things simple and prevents the retainer from becoming unmanageable. If you consistently don't use your capacity, we can discuss adjusting your plan.

What if I need more than 3 projects in a month?

We can discuss adding additional capacity for an extra fee, or we can prioritize what's most important and push other projects to the following month.

How do I submit project requests?

Through my project management system (Asana). You'll submit a request with details, and I'll confirm the timeline within 24 hours. Most projects are delivered within 48 hours of approval.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, with 30 days notice. However, I do recommend committing to at least 3 months so we can build momentum and you can see real results from consistent creative execution.

What if I need something same-day or super urgent?

Rush requests aren't included in the standard retainer. If you need something same-day, we can discuss rush fees on a case-by-case basis.

What's the difference between this and just hiring a designer per project?

Consistency and speed. With a retainer, I already know your brand intimately. You're not explaining your vision every time. You're not waiting for a designer to become available. You're not managing one-off projects. You have an ongoing creative partner who can move fast because we're already aligned.

Strategic design for out-of-the-box brands

You need a brand that stands out and makes people feel something. You’ve come to the right place. I blend strategy with a healthy dose of neurospiciness to build impactful, unforgettable brands.

Let’s face it… your brand isn’t matching your brilliance.

Your business deserves to stand out, and that’s harder than ever in a world of templates and trends.

Right now, when potential clients land on your website or come across you on the socials, your brand just isn’t stopping them in their tracks the way it needs to. Your current brand is hold you back from:

Attracting aligned, premium clients

…the ones who get your approach and are excited to pay top dollar for your perspective and expertise.

Showing up with quiet confidence

…so you don’t have to shout to prove your worth. Your work speaks volumes when your brand lets it.

Creating trust and clarity at first glance

…because good design doesn’t just look good. It evokes powerful emotional connection with your audience.

Being seen as the expert you are

…instead of blending in with brands that don’t think as deeply or deliver as intentionally.

If your brand feels inauthentic, inconsistent, or just... meh? It's time for a change.

Imagine having a brand that feels as unique as you are

When we work together, your brand becomes:

Magnetic

Clients slide into your DMs before they even talk to you

Strategic

Every color, font, and design element serves a purpose

Authentic

No more masking. Your brand finally feels like YOU

Unforgettable

In a sea of sameness, you're the flamingo in a flock of pigeons

Here's what changes when your brand truly represents you:

Command higher rates

When your brand screams quality, clients stop questioning your prices

Build instant credibility

A cohesive brand builds trust from the first interaction — no convincing needed.

Attract dream clients

The right people will feel an immediate "OMG, they get me" connection.

Work with confidence

When you're proud of how you present yourself, your entire energy shifts.

WHAT I OFFER

Design is how I solve problems. Art is how I express them. I offer custom brand design rooted in clarity, intentionality, and bold, neurospicy creativity, alongside Kosher Chaos, my line of Jewish-themed prints and products that explore identity, humor, and the beautiful chaos of Jewish life

From strategy to stunning visuals

  • Walk away with detailed brand guidelines that make staying consistent feel effortless

Uniquely Jewish, beautifully different

  • Select pieces that honor both Jewish and neurodivergent identities, because representation matters

Hi! I'm Sandy Weberman

Your neurospicy design partner

For years, I struggled with balancing my authentic self with what I thought "professional" looked like. I created multiple personal brands thinking I needed to hide my ADHD, tone down my Jewish identity, and fit into a corporate mold to be taken seriously.
The result? An inauthentic brand that didn't attract the right clients and work that didn't fulfill me.
Everything changed when I embraced my neurodivergent creativity and Orthodox Jewish identity as strengths, not limitations. I realized the clients I really wanted to work with were looking for exactly what makes me different.
Today, I help visionary entrepreneurs and mission-driven organizations create brands that break the mold — just like the minds behind them. I bring high-level design with a fresh, neurodivergent perspective — because the best brands aren't just seen, they're felt.
My mission goes beyond design. Through Sandy Creative, I create visibility and understanding for neurodiversity within the Jewish community and beyond, proving that our unique brains aren't obstacles — they're superpowers.

Why I'm not like other designers

I think differently, and design that way too

My creative brain doesn’t do “one-size-fits-all.” I’ve built a process that’s flexible, intuitive, and designed for clarity and personal expression — no corporate jargon or confusing brand assets in sight.

I blend big-picture thinking with micro-detail magic

Great design not only makes things pretty, but it makes them work. I combine sharp strategy, intentional storytelling, and minimalist visuals to create brands that look stunning and move the needle.

I design with cultural depth and lived insight

I bring a strong sense of identity to my work, including my Orthodox Jewish background and neurodivergent experience. My identity helps me design brands that feel real, resonant, and deeply you.

Design that sees what others miss

With every project, I get to the heart of what makes my clients’ brands uniquely them. My process is intuitive, strategic, and built for people who think a little differently. The result? Brands that feel aligned, grounded, and wildly effective.

Ready to stop blending in?

You’re here to be seen, trusted, and paid accordingly. Let’s craft a brand that reflects the depth of who you are and makes people stop and say, “I need that.
