Design Partner To
Designjoy is one designer serving dozens of clients at $4,995 a month, one request at a time, with no meetings by design. The work is genuinely excellent. But you are buying a slot in one person's day, and nothing moves when that person is busy or away. Quarterly gives you a dedicated designer with an 18 person studio behind them, from £1,266 a month.
Designjoy is one person
One Designer, Dozens Of Clients
Designjoy is Brett, and only Brett. No employees, no outsourcing. That is the pitch, and it is why the work is consistent. It is also why you are one of dozens of companies sharing the same pair of hands, and why your brief waits its turn behind everyone else who paid the same $4,995 this month.

The Honest Summary
Designjoy is one exceptional designer working alone. Quarterly is a dedicated designer with an 18 person studio behind them. Both give you consistency. Only one of them keeps up when you need three things in the same week.
What they do well
Genuinely excellent work, and a deserved reputation for it. You deal with the founder directly, the output is distinctive rather than templated, and you can pause the subscription when the work dries up. For a lean startup that needs a beautiful landing page and not much else, it is hard to beat.
Where it falls short
It is one person. Work moves one request at a time, delivery is 48 hours rather than same day, and there are no calls because there is no time for them. Video, motion, print and presentations at any volume sit beyond what a single designer can cover. And when he is ill, on holiday or simply full, your marketing stops with him.
What we do differently
A dedicated designer who knows your brand, with an 18 person studio behind them. Several pieces can move at once, turnaround is same day as standard, and we cover video, motion, print and presentations properly. You can talk to your designer, and when they are away someone who already knows your account picks it up.
Where we excel
Marketing teams with a real workload. If you need a campaign, a deck and a set of social assets in the same week, one person cannot do that however good they are. At roughly a third of the price you get the same continuity, plus the capacity to actually keep up.
