Hiring a brand designer: What you need to know
When should I hire a brand designer?
Hire one when you are launching a new brand or product line, your look has drifted across site, packaging, ads and social, or the brand no longer matches the price point and customers you want to reach.
What skills should I look for in a brand designer?
Look for consumer brand identities they have shipped, not just concepts: logo and type systems, color palettes, packaging graphics and guidelines. Strong designers ask about positioning first and design for phone screens as well as shelves.
How much does it cost to hire a brand designer?
Costs depend on scope. On Storetasker, a full branding sprint of around 10 weeks starts at $6,000, while refreshes, guideline updates and single assets cost less. Experts quote price, timeline and scope upfront, and getting quotes is free.

Common Questions
Still not sure? Book a demo
How is a brand designer different from a Shopify designer?
A brand designer defines how your brand looks everywhere: logo, color, type, packaging and guidelines. A Shopify designer applies that identity to your store, designing layouts and shopping journeys. Many brands hire a brand designer first, then hand the guidelines to a Shopify designer.
Do brand designers also design packaging?
Most design the graphics: labels, box artwork and inserts that carry the identity. Structural work, such as custom box shapes and dielines, is often handled with a packaging designer. Confirm in the quote who supplies print-ready files and checks printer proofs.
What should we prepare before a brand project?
Share your positioning, target customers, competitors, current assets and any elements you want to keep, plus brands you admire. If your strategy is still unclear, ask for a short discovery phase first, so design rounds are spent on real options rather than guesswork.
How long does a branding project take?
It depends on scope and how quickly feedback comes back. As a guide, a full branding sprint on Storetasker runs around 10 weeks, from discovery and concepts through refinement to final files and guidelines. A refresh or a set of new assets takes less time.
Who owns the logo and brand files?
Agree in writing before work starts that your brand owns the final identity and source files. Ask for vector logo files, color values for print and screen, details of any fonts you need to license, and editable guideline and template files.
Can a refresh keep what customers already recognize?
Yes. A refresh updates typography, color and layout while keeping recognizable elements such as a logo shape or signature color, which suits brands with existing awareness. A full rebrand makes more sense after a change of positioning, audience or name.
Should we hire for a project or on a retainer?
A new identity or refresh is usually a project, quoted by the expert with price, timeline and scope. Brands that launch often, or need packaging, campaign and social assets every month, often keep their designer on a monthly retainer. Experts work directly with your team over email, Slack and Zoom.
