The problem
Let's be honest: The old ways suck. They don't work for modern marketing teams and agencies that need reliable creative capacity. You need speed, quality, and a team that knows your brand inside out, so you're not stuck babysitting every project.
That's what we built.

The solution: Pod model
Every account gets a pod: the same specialists on your brand every single time. No rotating queue, no re-explaining, no starting over. The longer they work with you, the better the work gets.

Your quality firewall. Reviews and approves every complex deliverable before it reaches you. Included, not an upsell.

Your brand's muscle memory. The same hands on every request, no re-explaining, no resets.

The resizing, variations, and grind, handled at machine speed so the humans stay on the craft.

So you're never the one chasing status updates. The pod runs itself.
When your project needs it, we pull in specialists from a vetted bench: motion designers, illustrators, web developers, brand designers and more. Already briefed. No extra cost.
Freelancers forget you between projects. Your pod never stops learning you.
How it works
The brief, the files, the references, the do's and the don'ts, all in one place. No follow-up call to explain what you actually meant.

Your request lands in your pod's pipeline and you can see where it stands at any point. If the brief is clear, has examples and needs no clarifications, your pod works their magic.
And it's not a rough sketch of a rough idea, it's an actual first version. It's already been checked against your brand and your brief before it ever reaches you.

Drop a pin on the exact spot, circle it, say what you mean. No writing three sentences trying to describe which corner you're talking about. It's that easy.

Print-ready files, source files, social crops, all delivered in the same place. Next time you need a version of it, the team already knows the brand.

A slot is one piece of design work actively in production. The slot is held while the work is with us. The moment it's with you for review, the slot frees up and the next thing on your pipeline starts. You are never charged capacity for sitting in your own inbox.
Most subscriptions lock the slot until you approve. Which means a decision-maker on holiday costs you a week of the thing you paid for. Ours doesn't. That's why one slot here ships more than one slot somewhere else.

Why teams stay

The list of things you've been meaning to get made, the ones that have quietly been sitting there for months, just gets made. You stop triaging what's worth asking for, because asking costs you nothing.

Your client success manager chases status, not you. Nobody on your team writes "any update on this?" ever again.

Overdrive adds a slot for seven days when the calendar gets complicated. You flex, then you go back to normal.

The same pod, compounding. Month six needs half the brief that month one did, and the work is better.

Unlimited revisions means you never approve something you don't like because you've run out of goodwill.

Month to month, pause in one click, resume when you're back. We keep you by being worth keeping.

Whether you're comparing unlimited design services or figuring out whether to hire, here's what you're actually choosing between.
What clients say

I've tried all the design services out there. Deer Designer takes the crown for many reasons. First of all, they have the best designer to client ratio.
They also do it all, literally! Other services stick only to requests that take less thought and effort.
The quality of the designs is also a big step over their competitors (Design Pickle included).
"Working with Deer Designer has allowed us to scale our design capacity while maintaining the quality standards our clients expect. The team consistently delivers professional work, communicates well, and is easy to collaborate with."
"Deer Designer has allowed us to confidently take client's design inspirations and create beautiful websites that represents their brand."

Our clients are so happy with all the designs! Their work is outstanding and they're very responsive. I absolutely LOVE it!

I used Design Pickle and hated it. We've switched to Deer Designer over a year ago. Their website samples are good but the work they do for us is insane!
We have 5 slots with deer designers in our team (looking at 6 now!).
They help us with website mockups, logos, flyers, etc. They also designed the site for a $150 million/year company (client of ours) and they loved it!

I just wanted to say how much I totally LOVE working with Deer Designer.
Their work is just amazing! Our clients are obsessed with their designs.
I feel like I have a wishing tree I can just send a video with what I want and... tada! So much energy freed up now that I'm not doing design myself.
"Reliable and professional workforce at Deer. Love the artists and our relationship with them."
"Incredible service, our business thrives with DD"
Pricing
A slot is one piece of work in production at a time. Every plan gets the whole team and every discipline, so the only thing you're choosing is how much moves at once. See how slots work.
For founders and small teams who need design to stop being the bottleneck.
For marketing teams shipping constantly who need more moving at once.
For agencies and brands running a full creative function without the headcount.
*Monthly task count is an average and varies based on brief clarity, feedback speed, and pipeline volume.

"We have 5 slots with deer designers in our team (looking at 6 now!)"
No tier is locked out of anything. If you can brief it, your plan covers it.
Grow into it. Slots get cheaper the more you run, and you can add or drop them month to month.
Launch week is not a normal week, so Overdrive adds a slot for seven days. That and white label, rush lane and creative working sessions are all available at checkout.
FAQ
A slot is one piece of work actively in production. One slot means one thing being designed at a time. The important part is when it frees up: the slot is held while the work is with us, and released the moment it lands with you for review. So the next thing in your pipeline starts immediately instead of waiting for you to open an email. Most services hold the slot until you approve. That difference is why a slot here ships more than a slot elsewhere.
Revisions are unlimited, genuinely. Push back as many times as it takes. Requests are not unlimited and no honest service's are. What you're buying is how much runs at once. One slot typically ships 15 to 20 tasks a month, two slots 30 to 40, four slots 60 to 80. We'd rather give you a real number than a word that means nothing.
Anything on the list, on any plan. Web and landing pages, brand and identity, motion graphics, video editing, illustration, decks, print, email, social, no-code and low-code development. No plan is locked out of any category. Heavier work holds your slot longer, which is the only thing that changes.
Add as many requests to your pipeline as you like. You order the pipeline, we pull from the top as slots free up, and you can drag it into a different order any time. Two guardrails: you can have up to twice your slot count sitting in review at once, so if you have one slot you can have two things waiting on your feedback before we ask you to look at something. And a task with no response for ten business days archives itself. You can reopen it, it just rejoins the pipeline rather than jumping the line.
Yes! Every slot gets one emergency swap per month, which interrupts whatever's in production and starts your urgent thing instead. Beyond that there's Rush Lane at $199 for same-day on a single task, and Overdrive if the whole week is on fire.
Temporary extra capacity for launches. One unit adds a slot for seven days, costs $349, and needs three business days' notice. Pro includes one per quarter, Partner two. There's a thirty day cooldown between activations so it stays a pressure valve rather than quietly becoming your real plan.
First draft on most everyday assets within 12 to 48 hours. Pro gets priority in the queue, Partner gets a guaranteed turnaround backed by credits if we miss it. Bigger pieces like a full site build or an explainer video get scoped and scheduled rather than dropped in a queue.
Annotate directly on the design in Buckboard, point at the thing rather than describing it, and your pod picks it up. Revisions take priority over new briefs inside your own pipeline, so unfinished work never sits behind something you submitted yesterday.
Yes. That's the whole model. Your pod is a creative director, two senior designers, three to four production designers and a client success manager, and they're named and visible in your account.
You don't have a designer, you have a pod. So the fix is usually smaller than you think.
Just tell us. The first thing we do is work out what's actually going wrong, because “it's not clicking” usually means one of two things: the person isn't the right fit for your brand, or the direction was never properly pinned down and everyone's been guessing. Swapping someone fixes the first and does nothing for the second.
If it is the person, we swap that designer. Not the whole team. Your brand memory stays intact, and you're not starting over. No awkward conversation, no notice period.
Yes, one click, no phone call, and we never charge you for it. Monthly plans pause at the end of your current cycle. Annual plans push your renewal date instead, so you don't lose what you paid for. Give us two weeks' notice and we hold your exact pod for 90 days. Your brand library, your history and your team are waiting when you come back.
Yes to all three, on your paper if you need it. Net 30 and PO numbers on invoices are available on Partner.
Canva, Figma, Adobe source files, PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, MP4 and GIF as appropriate. Source files always, not just flattened exports. They're yours.
Both. Design is on every plan and so is low-code and no-code development, Webflow, Framer, WordPress and similar. Custom-coded builds get scoped as a project rather than run through slots.
Absolutely! On every plan. Separate brand libraries, separate guidelines, one subscription.
There's a Slack app for ticket visibility, status and delivery notifications, and flagging a request without leaving Slack. Included on Pro and Partner, an add-on at Core. One deliberate limitation: you can't brief work in Slack. Notifications out, work in. A request buried in a thread never becomes a ticket, never gets tracked, and disappears when the person who read it goes on holiday.
