One Day to Solve Your Brand’s
Biggest Visual Challenge
Marketa Steinert
Creative Director, Design Consultant
& Co-Founder at Gradual
Direct access to 15+ years of design and art direction experience.
We’ll cut through months of endless agency meetings and focus entirely on your business for one intensive day.
Whether you’re preparing a major launch, stuck in an endless loop with your current designers, or about to invest in a complete redesign, a single focused day can bring clarity and save months of guesswork
I collaborate directly with founders, CEOs, and creative leads—guiding their internal or external design teams to audit visual strategy, resolve deadlocks, and make confident decisions on complex challenges.
TYPICAL SCENARIOS
+ Brand Audit & Direction
We’ll look at where your visual identity stands today and decide whether you need a full rebrand or just smart, precise adjustments.
+ Client-Side Advisor
I’ll act as your design partner when dealing with external agencies — helping you set the brief, ask the right questions, and evaluate their outputs.
+ Design Operations & Workflows
We’ll review how your internal teams create materials, clean up visual inconsistency, and set workable standards for daily output.
+ Tender Consultant & Jury Member
Expert evaluation for design competitions and tenders, backed by my long-term experience consulting for institutions and city branding.
+ Unblocking Deadlocks
When you and your internal or external team have hit a wall, I’ll step in to critique the work, resolve creative disagreements, and set a clear path forward.
+ Briefing & Tender Preparation
Before you spend time and money hiring a studio, we’ll define a crystal-clear brief, scope of work, and selection criteria.
