COMPANIES WORKED WITH

How we can work together?

Q: How does your dedicated weekly freelance availability work?

A: I offer dedicated day-rate partnerships where I embed directly as your ongoing brand guardian, pre-press specialist, or publication designer for set days each week. You get senior-level expertise, direct collaboration, and priority turnaround on your recurring design tasks without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Q: Can I hire you for a single project, or do I need a retainer contract?

Both! While I am currently welcoming a new client for a dedicated weekly day, I also take on standalone high-value projects; such as complete corporate visual identity overhauls, graphic design, or complex printing requests.

Q: How quickly can you integrate with our existing team or workflow?

A: Instantly. Having spent over two decades working alongside corporate creative teams (including 10 years with Rolls-Royce plc) and commercial print operations, I seamlessly adapt to your preferred workflow; whether that’s collaborating directly with your internal marketing heads or handling pre-flighting straight with your external printers.

Q: How do we get started?

A: Simply reach out via the contact form or drop me an email with a brief overview of your design needs. We will schedule a quick introductory call to discuss your scope, workflow, and preferred schedule. Once agreed, we lock in your dedicated day and begin immediately.

“I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. She has designed several posters and logos for myself and fellow boxing colleagues to a very high standard. The work is always turned around very quickly and at a great rate. If you need design work use Karen Stutely she is the best I have worked with in 20 years of boxing.”
