Lay the groundwork
First, we get everything set up for a smooth partnership. We create your Trello board, schedule our first strategy call, and gather your brand assets. Think of it as building the foundation for great work together.
Chart the course
In our monthly strategy sessions, we map out priorities and set clear goals. We discuss upcoming projects, review what's working, and make sure our creative energy is focused on what matters most to your mission.
Bring it to life
This is where your vision comes to life! Each month, we bring your brand to life through custom designs—from social posts that spark engagement to donor materials that inspire giving. We collaborate closely, incorporate your feedback, and deliver designs that drive real impact.

How long does the Annual Report Design Intensive take?
The entire process takes up to 3 weeks from start to finish depending on the length of your report and level of creativity required. This includes planning, designing, revisions, and final delivery of your report in both digital and print-ready formats.
What is the typical timeline for completing my report?
Our signature process:
Step 1: Sketching the Blueprint
We create a basic outline of your design and develop initial concepts.
Step 2: Your First Look
You review our initial concepts and tell us what you think.
Step 3: Bringing Your Design to Life
We develop a full design draft with colors, images, and details based on your feedback.
Step 4: Your Turn to Speak
You review our work and provide final feedback.
Step 5: The Big Reveal
We perfect every element based on your feedback, present your completed design, and hand over all the files.
What information do I need to provide to get started?
To ensure a smooth and productive week, please be ready to provide:
1. Your brand guidelines and assets (logo, colors, fonts, etc.)
2. Any existing design assets or materials
3. Key objectives and desired outcomes for the intensive
4. Content and images
‍
Having all materials ready at the start of the intensive is required.
Can you help with writing the report?
Our service focuses on the design of your annual report. You’ll need to provide the content, but we’re happy to give you guidance on how to structure your stories and data to fit within the design.
What if my project goes beyond 1-week?
If your project goes beyond 1 week because of delays on your end, you can purchase additional week-long intensives. We structure our service in week-long blocks to maintain consistency and efficiency. This allows us to keep projects focused and on-schedule, avoid scope creep, and ensure fair pricing for all clients.
For larger projects, we recommend breaking them into week-long phases, with each phase addressing specific aspects of your design needs. We can determine this on a call.
What is the revision process like?
You'll have multiple opportunities to review the design as it progresses throughout the week. Our process ensures you won't be in the dark about what you'll receive on day 7. We'll share updates regularly, allowing you to provide feedback and stay involved in the design development. It's ultimately our goal that you walk away with a design you love!
What if I need more time to gather content?
We understand that pulling everything together can take time. If you need additional time to collect your data and stories, we can adjust the start date of the project.
