Hiraya Design positions itself between a freelancer and a design agency, operating as a boutique design studio. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, a startup, or an established business with a small team, I pride myself in being able to work with businesses of all sizes.

In terms of industry, Hiraya Design is inclusive of all creative businesses! I especially enjoy collaborating with creative service providers and women-focused e-commerce businesses dedicated to making the world a little brighter. You know that feeling you get when you put on a piece of jewelry that makes you feel like a million bucks? Or when you receive swoon-worthy photos back from your photographer? That feeling is exactly what I’m talking about! I love working with people who make others feel that way!

If this sounds like you, let's schedule a call! You're exactly the type of client I'd love to work with!

Determining the ROI of a web project is much more straightforward given the data provided by your website provider. Past clients have enjoyed substantial returns from e-commerce launches, increased website traffic, and streamlined checkout and fulfillment processes.

On the brand identity side, the ROI is equally as impressive, though less data-driven. Past clients have gained the confidence to raise their prices and thus increase their revenue, enhanced the perceived value of their services, consequently attracting high-quality leads and inquiries. Additionally, they've garnered more press coverage and industry recognition, strengthened their conviction to sell, and experienced a deeper sense of harmony and alignment with their brand.

Yes! I offer flexible payment plans to make professional design more accessible to newer business owners. We can discuss the terms of your payment plan during our consultation call. All projects require a percentage of the project to reserve your spot in my calendar with the remainder billed over the duration of the project. 

It depends! The design process is involved and collaborative, so timelines will vary depending on studio availability, the scope of your project, number of revisions, custom functionality for your website development, and many other factors. 

Typically, a brand intensive (Brand Accelerator) will take 2 weeks, full-service branding (Brand Comprehensive) will range from 4-6 weeks, a Semi-Custom Showit Website will  range from 2-3 weeks, and a Fully Custom Showit Website can vary anywhere from 8-12+ weeks.

Semi-Custom websites are based on selected, approved, and purchased or internal Showit themes. I customize the brand elements, fonts, colours, photography, content, and section order, but each section's layout is fixed.

Fully Custom websites are not based on a theme, so the sky's the limit in terms of design! We’ll discuss which best suits your needs during our complimentary discovery call.  Book your call here.

I develop websites on Showit, an incredibly user-friendly website building platform, because it’s highly customizable and makes it easy for my clients to update and maintain their websites themselves once we wrap our web project. For e-commerce brands, I use Shopify, a leading platform for seamless online shopping.

Not a problem! Once we've wrapped our web project, I will guide you through your website in a recorded 1:1 Training Video you can refer to forever. You will also receive a library of video tutorials walking you through how to edit and maintain your website as well as an entire resource with step-by-step guides and articles.

If you still feel uncomfortable editing or maintaining your website, I offer website maintenance on a contractual basis for past clients to ensure their website stays up-to-date.

Design is only part of the puzzle that creates a meaningful brand. I always recommend my clients get professional branding photos and copywriting to get the luxurious brand of their dreams. I’m happy to make recommendations for professionals during our complimentary first call. Book here.

My VIP Days are perfect for past or new clients who need specific design assistance with a quick turnaround! You can either book my studio for 7 hours (Full VIP Day) or 4 hours (VIP Half Day) to work through a prioritized list of design tasks, plus 1-2 hours the next day for light feedback.

Past clients have booked a VIP Day for single-page websites, website updates and/or maintenance, social media graphics, print collateral design, customized templates, internal business documents, and more.

Yes, I offer white label design services for agencies and other designers looking for a senior-level designer to have on hand. Please inquire using this form and we can discuss this option together!
