S Shape H Hue L Line

Design made to order.

A commission-based design studio. You bring a brief — a brand, a package, a website, a poster — and we draw it, refine it, and hand over files you own outright.

Disciplines

What we
draw

Six things we make on commission. Every project starts from a written brief and ends with source files in your hands — no licence, no lock-in, no monthly fee to keep using your own logo.

Brand identity

Logo, colour system, typography, and the rules that keep it consistent. Delivered as a usable kit, not a 90-page PDF nobody opens.

  • Logo & marks
  • Colour & type
  • Guidelines
  • Stationery

Web & interface design

Landing pages, marketing sites, product screens. Designed responsive from the first sketch, and built if you want it built.

  • Landing pages
  • Full sites
  • UI screens
  • Design systems

Packaging

Boxes, labels, pouches, inserts. Drawn to a real dieline, checked against print constraints, sent to your printer ready to run.

  • Dielines
  • Labels
  • Boxes
  • Print-ready files

Print & editorial

Posters, menus, catalogues, reports, signage. Typeset properly, with bleed, margins and paper stock accounted for.

  • Posters
  • Brochures
  • Menus
  • Signage

Illustration & icons

Custom illustration, icon sets, spot drawings and patterns — vector, scalable, and drawn to sit inside your identity rather than beside it.

  • Illustration
  • Icon sets
  • Patterns
  • Spot art

Social & campaign assets

Templates and asset sets sized for every placement, built so your team can produce the next fifty without calling us.

  • Templates
  • Ad sets
  • Presentations
  • Email design

Process

Four steps,
no surprises

The same sequence on every commission, from a single poster to a full identity. You always know what happens next and what it costs before it starts.

01 Day 1–2

Brief

You tell us what it is for, who it speaks to, and what you like. We write it down, quote a fixed price and a date, and you approve both before anything is drawn.

02 Week 1

Directions

Two or three distinct routes, presented properly — in context, not as logos floating on white. You pick one, or pick pieces of each.

03 Week 2–3

Refinement

The chosen direction is built out and sharpened over two rounds of revisions, included in the price. Extra rounds are quoted, never billed by surprise.

04 Handover

Files & ownership

Source files, exports in every format you need, fonts listed with their licences, and full ownership transferred on final payment.

Studio

Small on
purpose

SHL Design is the design studio of SHL Group LLC, a United States company. We work remotely with clients across the country — briefs, reviews and handover all happen online.

You own everything

Source files and full rights transfer to you on final payment. No licence fees, no hostage files, no monthly charge to keep using your own brand.

Fixed prices, written first

Every commission is quoted as a fixed figure with a delivery date, agreed in writing before the first sketch. No hourly surprises.

One designer, start to finish

The person who reads your brief is the person who draws it and hands it over. Nothing gets lost in a chain of account managers.

Questions

Before you
ask

The things people want to know before sending a first brief.

How do we start?

Send a brief through the form below — what you need, roughly when, and any references you like. We reply within one business day with questions, a fixed price and a delivery date. Nothing is drawn until you approve both.

What do I actually receive?

Source files in the format the work was made in, exports in every format you need (SVG, PDF, PNG, print-ready CMYK where relevant), and a short handover note listing fonts used and their licences. Full ownership transfers to you on final payment.

How many revisions are included?

Two rounds on every commission, which covers the vast majority of projects. If a third is needed because the brief changed, we quote it before doing it — you will never see an unexpected line on an invoice.

Can you build the website, not just design it?

Yes. Design and build are quoted separately so you can take the design elsewhere if you prefer. Both are fixed-price.

How do you handle fonts and stock images?

We design with fonts you can license, and we tell you the cost before using anything paid. Font and stock licences are bought in your name, directly by you, so the rights sit with your business and not with us.

What if I don't like any of the directions?

It is rare, because the brief stage exists to prevent it. If it happens, we redraw once from a revised brief at no extra cost. If it still is not right after that, you pay for the work done to that point and keep nothing you did not approve.

How and when do I pay?

Fifty percent to book the slot, fifty percent on delivery, in United States dollars by bank transfer or card. Monthly retainers are invoiced in advance. Payment terms are Net 15.
