Fractional Designers for CPG Brands
Add an experienced CPG graphic designer to your team without the cost and commitment of hiring full-time
The current truth
Every CPG brand reaches the point where they think: we need our own designer — BUT...
So we invented a way to add your own designer to your team — without the cost and commitment of hiring full-time
You may have an agency or freelancer you work with on a handful of projects throughout the year.
And at that level, agencies will get too expensive, and freelancers won't keep up. So if you want to get serious about growing your brand, you'll need a designer on your team.
Every week, in a matter of minutes, you could be creating:

Here's what they say about working with us.
“
We’ve been a client of DarkRoast's for a couple of years now and have absolutely loved working with our designer, who truly feels like an integral part of our team. She genuinely knows our brand, understands what we’re trying to accomplish, and can jump right in without us having to constantly re-brief or provide background with every project.
“
DarkRoast is more than a platform to us — our dedicated designer feels like a true team member and has helped us bring our brand to life across every creative touchpoint. The platform is easy to use and organized, the team is communicative and supportive, and most importantly the quality of the work is amazing!
“
The DarkRoast designer we were paired with learned the guardrails of our brand quickly and regularly turns around requests ahead of schedule. We couldn’t be happier with the value and quality they’re delivering to Beyond Good.
“
Collaborating with DarkRoast has been an incredible experience. Their designer and project management resources have empowered us to scale and create top-tier designs for all our sales and marketing channels.
“
We’ve really enjoyed working with DarkRoast — the team is quick, easy to work with, and great at jumping into whatever we need, and the creative is always strong. They’ve been able to take on bigger and urgent projects without missing a beat, and it’s been great having a team we can count on.
“
Over the years, DarkRoast has become a trusted creative partner to La Tourangelle, helping us bring our brand to life across nearly every consumer touchpoint. Their team can take any creative vision and make it a reality — often elevating it beyond what was initially imagined.
