Embedded.
A senior designer. Part of your team.
Deep, sustained design support for marketing teams going through a significant period - a major campaign, a rebrand, a growth phase, or the gap between permanent hires.
Who is this for
A marketing director who needs someone they can hand work to and trust completely
A team whose senior designer just left and recruitment is taking longer than expected
A business going through a rebrand, relaunch, or major campaign that needs sustained design leadership
A growing team that needs design at a near-full-time level before committing to a permanent hire

Why it works
Embedded is as close to having a senior designer in-house as you can get without the hiring commitment. At three days a week, I become a genuine part of your team - attending briefings, understanding the bigger picture, and producing work that's consistent, on-brand, and built to last. You get the depth of a permanent hire with the flexibility of a freelancer. No recruitment fees, no notice periods, no desk space required.
No recruitment risk
You know exactly what you're getting from day one. No probation period, no surprises.
Print expertise at depth
For teams producing high-volume or complex print work, this level of support pays for itself quickly.
Flexible to end when you need
When your permanent hire is in place or the campaign is done, we wind down cleanly. No awkward exits.
Full team integration
Works as part of your team
Need this level of support?
Embedded works best when there's a clear period or project in mind. If you're in that situation now - or can see it coming - let's have a conversation about whether the fit is right.
There's no obligation at this stage. A short conversation is often enough to work out whether the timing and fit are right.
