Marketing does not stop after your logo is finished.

New presentations. Social media graphics. Sales sheets. Brochures. Catalogs. Event signage. Digital ads. Internal communications. Product launches. The requests never stop.

Hiring an in-house designer is expensive. Managing freelancers is inconsistent. Traditional agencies often prioritize large projects while everyday marketing gets pushed aside. Design Department by Rustand & Co. gives your organization a dedicated creative partner without the cost and complexity of building an internal design team.

Your business deserves more than one designer.

It deserves a dependable creative partner who understands your brand, works inside your systems, and consistently delivers high-quality marketing assets.

Instead of recruiting, onboarding, managing, and paying for an in-house employee, Design Department gives you ongoing access to professional creative support whenever you need it. Focus on growing your business. We'll handle the creative.

Everyday design support for the work that never stops.

If it represents your business visually, we'll help bring it to life.

Save $20,000–$50,000+ Every Year

Compared to hiring an in-house graphic designer.

Hiring a full-time designer typically costs $65,000–$90,000+ annually after salary, payroll taxes, benefits, recruiting, software, equipment, PTO, and management overhead.

With Rustand & Co.’s Design Department, businesses can keep $20,000–$50,000+ in their business every year while gaining flexible creative support that scales with their needs.

Design Department gives you the creative support you need—without the payroll you don’t.

Predictable monthly design support.

Choose an annual commitment to save 15% while continuing to pay monthly, or select monthly flexibility.

All subscriptions are billed automatically on the 1st of each month via ACH or a payment method on file.

Flexible monthly billing. Better annual pricing.

If an Annual Commitment is canceled before the end of the agreement, the client simply repays the difference between the discounted Annual Commitment rate and the standard Monthly rate for the months of service already received. This allows clients to exit the agreement without paying the remaining contract balance while preserving the value of the annual discount.
