Freelance Design Studio

Design systems for small businesses who outgrow one-off graphics.

I build branded template kits and promotional design — coordinated sets of social posts, flyers, and assets your team can reuse and customize without hiring a designer for every post.

Client work

A note on how this work is labeled: the template kits in the section above are self-directed concept work, built to demonstrate system design — not commissioned by the businesses pictured. Everything in this section was completed for paying clients.

Fig. 03 — How it works

From brief to kit

A straightforward process built for small teams without a design department.

01

Scope the kit

A short call or form to map out what you actually need on repeat — social posts, flyers, menus — so the system fits your real workflow, not a generic template list.

02

Build the system

I design the full set in Canva with shared colors, type, and layout logic, so every piece reads as one brand even when used separately.

03

Hand off & edit

You get editable files and a short walkthrough, so your team can swap copy, dates, and offers without coming back to me for every post.
