What is GrowingDesign?
We’re not an agency. We’re your personal freelance design team.
We’re a group of creative freelancers, who came together to help our clients get a complete suite of design elements to brand themselves successfully.
I had an incredible experience with Patricia – she translated the vision for my brand into the perfect logo and a well-designed collection of social media templates. She’s highly intuitive, creative, and delivers quality, timely work. Will work with her again!
This is the problem with design agencies!
A lot of our clients come to us frustrated and doubtful after having worked with design agencies in the past. They are tired of getting passed around through endless “project managers” and, in the end, getting cookie-cutter sets delivered.
They often complain about:
- No tailored packages – everyone gets offered the same set of solutions and it’s a “take it or leave it” kind of deal.
- Overpriced packages, often with many pieces they don’t need (because, newsflash – no business is the exact same).
- Huge price add-ons when they ask for additional pieces outside of the basic scope (or an instant upsell to a “premium package” – sound familiar?).
Short and shallow discussions with the designer (if they get to talk to them at all) about what they envision and what’s at the core of their brand (“designer knows best”-kind of thinking).
We decided “enough of that!”
The GrowingDesign Difference
Our process and results are unique. We don’t just churn out fancy-looking logos and call it a day. We want to understand what you stand for as a company, who you are as a business owner and person, the value you deliver to your customers, and where you see your brand going.
We are here to create design solutions that work for our clients. Not for the designer’s wallet.
We believe in a personal and collaborative approach. You will get to know us, and – most importantly – we will get to know you and your brand.
Our clients walk away not only with a full set of visual assets, but with a better understanding of their own brand and the confidence to market themselves right.
GrowingDesign freelancers can work with clients collectively or individually. You let us know what you need; we’ll make it happen. There’s never any pressure to “buy it all,” or get more pieces than you need.
With us, you simply get access to a ton of creative freelance talent. You decide what you use of that.

Working with you allowed me to clearly define the values I wanted to put forward with my brand. Thanks to you, I now have the tools, the templates, and the structure to develop my project. What I appreciated the most with you were your understanding, attention, and responsiveness. I would recommend Joel to anyone who needs to define, structure, or improve their brand image so that it reflects their values.
