I know firsthand that sometimes running your business can be overwhelming, especially because we wear so many hats at the same time. But cutting corners (like I did early in my career), has never served me right!
Instead, what I’d much rather do is invest in a time-machine and teleport myself a couple of years into the future by learning from experts and mentors who have walked that path already and are now spreading their golden nuggets of wisdom.
That’s why I wanted to share Gigi’s Designer Business Templates! These are the sorts of resources (hint: investments) that truly accelerate your career. And I don’t say that lightly because I only share resources I truly believe in.
Of course, you can spend years figuring it out on your own, making mistakes and learning from them (your own experience is still important) but you can serve your clients so much better by offering them a more streamlined and elevated experience RIGHT NOW!
These templates will help you:
- organise your process,
- improve your client communication,
- raise your rates,
- get more return business,
- and more referrals.

Brand Strategy & Direction Template
What is it?
The Brand Strategy & Direction Template is so much more than just a template. In fact, this could help you add a whole new service to your business if you do not yet provide brand strategy for your clients as part of your process!
Brand Strategy & Direction is a fundamental step in your process that allows you to really dig deep into your client’s business and build a strategic brand for them that focuses on their mission, values, target audience and so much more. Having a clear brand strategy also helps avoid multiple design revisions because you will be much more aligned with your client on their business and brand goals.
This document has allowed some fellow designers double their rates thanks to the additional value it helps bring to their clients.
Who is it for?
This is for Designers and Creatives who want to step out of the “Executor” mode and step into the “Strategic Partner” mode when working with their client. It’s for those who may not yet offer in-depth brand strategy to their clients and aren’t sure where to start, yet they want to add this step to their process.

Brand Concept Presentation
What is it?
The Brand Concept Presentation is your time to shine, yet it’s also a time that can bring a lot of anxiety to some designers. Is the client going to love my ideas? Are they gonna see all the work I put into it? Are they gonna understand my rationale? What if they hate it? What if we get stuck into an endless loop of design revisions?
That’s when the Brand Concept Presentation comes to the rescue! Whether you’re following the One Concept Approach, or you present multiple ideas to your clients – this Brand Concept Presentation template will help you present your ideas in a clear, concise and confident way, and help you minimise design revisions.

Brand Style Guide
What is it?
The Brand Style Guide is a fundamental document for your client’s business – it’s their Brand Bible that contains all the specifications in the strategic and visual aspect of their brand. This is the document your client will refer to over and over again to help them make strategic business decisions and ensure brand consistency once your work together is over. Can you see just how important this is for them?
The Brand Style Guide template is a 45+ pages rulebook that will not only impress your client but clearly show them the value of working with a professional designer like yourself!
Who is it for?
For Designers and Creatives who want to impress their clients with an in-depth Brand Style Guide at the end of their project to help them carry their brand further after the project is over.

Client Goodbye Guide
What is it?
Book client – check! Welcome them with a confetti pop – check. Carry them throughout the project – check. What about a champagne pop at the end of your work together?
A Client Goodbye Guide may not feel like a *necessary* template in your process (I respectfully disagree) but it’s definitely a great way to put a cherry on top as you close the project and polish off that fantastic impression you made on your client. This “unexpected” template is a great way to really put a smile on your client’s face and help them refer more client to you in the future, and come back to you for more as well!
Who is it for?
For Designers and Creatives who believe in nurturing long-lasting client relationships and believe in increasing a client’s lifetime value, rather than constantly chasing the next sale. Impress your clients from the first moment they interact with you to the very last day and let them bring you more work to you in the future!
