How does Overflow Design Support work?
-
We start with a quick chat or brief review to understand your project goals, deadlines, and style requirements, no lengthy onboarding needed, you are already busy enough!
-
I can slot seamlessly into your existing workflow, using your templates, and approval formats, no sign of my branding on any design visuals.
-
Work is completed on time and ready for client or internal use, meeting the same quality standards as your in-house team. I will be transparent around workflow availability and where your project can fit.
-
I incorporate your feedback efficiently, double checking anything that is unclear, keeping revisions minimal and ensuring the final output meets the brief.
-
Overflow support can be short-term, project-based, or ongoing depending on your needs. Whether you require a few focused hours to clear a bottleneck or consistent weekly support during peak periods, engagement is structured to fit around your workload.
-
Once your project or peak workload is complete, I step back leaving your team fully in control. I’m not going to chase you for work, I’m just here if you need me.
What deliverables can Phoenix Design can handle?
-
Silent design support for POS display companies working with major FMCG brands. This includes adapting campaign artwork to display formats, preparing print-ready files, liaising with supplied specifications, and ensuring production accuracy across multi-site rollouts, delivered under tight commercial timelines.
-
If a project needs to be picked up midway, I can step in and complete remaining deliverables while maintaining consistency in tone, layout, and file structure, ensuring no visible shift in creative direction.
-
Design support for competitive tenders where presentation quality directly impacts outcomes. I assist bid writers by structuring layouts, refining visual hierarchy, and producing polished, on-brand submissions that boost the credibility of the proposal.
-
Execution support across full campaign rollouts, from digital ads and social media images to printed collateral and large-format graphics. Assets are delivered aligned with existing brand and production requirements.
-
Banners, landing page graphics, email visuals, digital ads, and supporting campaign assets, designed to integrate with existing branding on websites and marketing platforms.
-
Design support for consultants, marketers preparing client-facing documentation. From professionally structured PowerPoint, proposal, and document design to stakeholder reports, client on-boarding and capability statements, I help finesse the visual quality of important documents, often working as a silent third-party partner
