A project makes something new with an end date: a brand, a website, a design system. A subscription covers steady demand. Not sure? Get Started will say which.

Work like this runs as a project, or as specialist work quoted before it starts.
How the work moves
One product area at a time, such as onboarding, billing or a new feature.
Each week starts with agreed priorities and ends with a review of the work.
Design is checked against what gets built, not just handed off.
Larger efforts, like a new product or a system rebuild, are scoped as projects.
One active workstream
One product area in progress at a time, worked in weekly cycles: priorities agreed at the start of the week, work reviewed at the end. When an area is done, the next one starts.
Direction and communication
Emanuel owns product design direction and reviews every cycle. Weekly planning and review calls, shared Figma, and your team's chat and issue tracker.
Terms, in plain language
- Commitment
- The first two months, then month to month. Billed monthly, in US dollars.
- Cancellation
- Cancel with 30 days' notice after the first two months. Work in progress during the notice period is finished or handed over with source files.
- Pausing
- After the first two months, you can pause once in any 12 months, for up to one month, with 14 days' notice. You are not billed while paused, and work typically restarts within five business days, with the same team where possible.
- Unused capacity
- Plans are defined by work in progress, not a balance, so there is nothing to carry over. If you consistently use less than your plan, we will suggest a smaller one.
- Revisions
- As many rounds as it takes to get the brief right. A new direction or a new brief is a new request.
- Rush
- There is no rush fee. Tell us what matters most and your queue is reordered. For a real spike, add a Launch Sprint.
- Specialist work
- Work outside your plan's disciplines (illustration, longer motion, video production, development, copywriting) is quoted before it starts. Nothing is added to your bill without your approval.
- Development
- Design handoff is included. Development (websites, front end, email builds) is specialist work, quoted before it starts.
- Copywriting
- Headlines and interface copy are included. Long-form copy is specialist work, quoted before it starts.
- Stock and third-party costs
- Standard licensed stock is included. Premium or extended licenses, fonts and other third-party costs are passed on at cost, agreed before purchase.
- Source files
- Source files are yours and are delivered with every final file.
- Longer commitment
- A 12-month agreement locks your monthly rate for 12 months and adds a quarterly planning review with Emanuel. Billing stays monthly.
Changing your plan
A second product area runs as Creative Flex or an Enterprise engagement.
When you need more
- Launch Sprint. One extra active request for two weeks, with a kickoff with Emanuel. For a launch or a seasonal spike.$3,500
- Specialist work. Illustration, longer motion, video production, development or long-form copy, quoted before it starts.Quoted
