From Pocket-Change Projects to Business-Changing Results
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Before introducing Studio Days, my design support for existing clients fell into two traps: quick, one-off tasks like business cards that didn't move the needle, or massive projects like packaging design bogged down by long timelines and endless feedback loops. Nurturing client relationships has always been at the heart of my business, but these approaches either lacked profitability or predictability—leaving no room for intentional growth or sustainable scaling.
That's where Studio Days shine. By dedicating a single, power-packed day to one client, I deliver high-impact, tailored design solutions without long timelines or pocket-change projects. Clients walk away thrilled with a cohesive suite of assets that elevate their brand, and I walk away with a streamlined, profitable approach that fuels my business growth.
This is more than just a service—it’s a strategy for building stronger relationships, increasing income, and making your time work for you.
What are Studio Days, exactly?
Studio Days are a focused, high-impact design service where you dedicate a full or half day to an existing client, tackling a set of design tasks or collateral. This efficient, one-day approach allows clients to receive significant design results without the hassle of long timelines or revisions.
For you, Studio Days streamline workflow, secure profitable, needle-moving work, and create more predictable income cycles: earning up to $2,500 per session. Clients walk away with impactful design assets, quality support, and time and money saved.
It’s an ideal way for designers to scale their business, offer high-value work, and build deeper, more profitable client connections—all without sacrificing time or creativity.
A Smarter Way to Serve Your Existing Clients
The Perfect Blend of Efficiency & Impact
So WHY Do CLIENTS LOVE STUDIO DAYS?
As business owners, our clients juggle countless tasks, and design often falls to the bottom of the list. Over time, these neglected design needs add up, resulting in costly, time-consuming one-off projects that could be holding back their brand’s potential. Studio Days solve that.
With a single, focused day, you, the designer, deliver a solution that tackles their most needed design projects, saving time and energy. The streamlined process minimizes feedback loops and mental load, providing high-quality designs faster and at a lower cost. By bundling essential design work into one day, Studio Days help clients maximize their budget and elevate their brand.
Studio Days let you maximize your earning potential with focused, high-impact sessions. No more drawn-out timelines or juggling endless projects—just streamlined, profitable work that respects your time.
With Studio Days, upselling is seamless. Deliver impactful, elevated design work that keeps your clients coming back for more, turning every collaboration into a stepping stone for future growth.
If retainers feel too demanding for your current capacity, Studio Days are the perfect alternative. They offer flexibility for you and high-value results for your clients, all without the long-term commitment.
You’ve already done the hard work of building relationships. Studio Days capitalize on that foundation, allowing you to create lasting, meaningful partnerships with clients who trust your vision and expertise.
how Are studio days a Game Changer for Designers?
Studio Days unlock a whole new level of growth. From scaling your income to building stronger, more impactful relationships with clients, this service is your ticket to consistent profits, streamlined workflows, and high-value design work.

Go From Sparse Returning Client Projects to Charging $2.5K for a Single Studio Day
Unlocking Consistent Revenue Without the Overwhelm
THE RESULTS
Before introducing Studio Days, five-figure months happened, but they were not consistent—and when I did hit them, it often came at the cost of feeling stretched too thin.
When I launched Studio Days all that changed. Suddenly, healthy five-figure months weren’t just consistent—they were comfortable. As a solopreneur and mom with limited capacity, booking just 2 Studio Days a month has allowed me to consistently add an additional $5,000 in monthly revenue, all without sacrificing my time with family.
This shift gave me the breathing room to serve my clients well while creating more margin in both my business and my life. Studio Days have truly transformed the way I work.
I’ve fine-tuned my Studio Day process into a service that both I and my clients absolutely love. Inside this guidebook, I give you the exact blueprint I use to structure, sell, and deliver this high-impact service.

Is this really worth it?
Studio Days are designed to be both efficient and profitable. With just one booking, you can earn up to $2.5K. That means the investment in this framework pays for itself in less than one Studio Day.
Here’s what that could look like for your business:
1 Studio Day per month = $2,500/month or $30,000/year
2 Studio Days per month = $5,000/month or $60,000/year
3 Studio Days per month = $7,500/month or $90,000/year
Imagine scaling your income by working smarter, not harder—all while strengthening client relationships and creating time for other priorities in your business or life.
When you invest in the Studio Day Framework, you’re not just buying a one-off resource—you’re unlocking a strategy that can transform your business. The question isn’t if it’s worth it; it’s how soon you’ll start seeing the payoff (and so much more.) Ready to make this shift? Let's get started.

I recently scheduled a [Studio Day] with Hannah and it was an
exceptional experience. As a busy business owner wearing several hats, the Day
in the Studio format worked SO well for me. It was helpful to have an entire
day dedicated to working with Hannah, it allowed me to stay focused on the
project, rather than mixing it into a busy schedule over a span of a few weeks.
The whole process felt so efficient, organized, and seamless! It was also exciting
to have my product that day. As for the product, Hannah completely outdid herself. I was so impressed
with the amount of preparation she put into our project, and she asked all of
the right questions in our preparation call and mid-day checkpoint to ensure
the final designs were nothing less than extraordinary. I have two more Day in
the Studio sessions booked for this fall, and am in the works of scheduling a
third to check off all of my design to-do’s. I am so looking forward to my next
sessions!

I recently worked with Hannah on a [Studio Day] session, and it was an
exceptional experience. The entire process was seamless, efficient, and truly
exceeded my expectations. Before the session, Hannah provided thoughtful
questionnaires and scheduled a meeting to thoroughly discuss and clarify all
my project needs. On the day of the studio, we had multiple Zoom meetings
and exchanged emails to review and approve the various projects.
Her organization and clear communication made it possible to complete
everything in just one day. The quality of her work, combined with the smooth
process, made it an absolute pleasure to work with her. I highly recommend
Hannah to anyone looking for a talented and professional designer who can
deliver outstanding results in a timely manner.

After launching our rebrand over two years ago, our site needed a few design
updates to elevate it and meet us where we’re at in the evolution of Lāer.
Hannah’s [Studio Day] was the perfect solution to tackle a long list of
updates I wanted to make (but didn’t have the design expertise to do so!), and
to get Hannah’s design perspective on our digital home.
Our first studio day was so effective that I added a half day on to round out the
rest of the site updates. She completely over-delivered and brought so many
elements I hadn’t thought of before. The whole day felt super collaborative,
with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share my input, and get little
sneak peeks (which were my favorite part!).
Rachel L.
The [Studio Day] with Duende is a huge help for our business! As our
business has expanded, we have growing design needs that weigh on me, and
this format allows me to knock multiple projects out in one day. I’ve rebooked
multiple days this year because Hannah’s process is highly efficient and she
always delivers impeccable work.
Anne G.
I couldn’t be more thrilled with the exceptional work created by Hannah
during my [Studio Day.] I opted for a half day and from start to finish, she
exceeded my expectations in every way.
Hannah added a blog to my website and it feels like a true masterpiece—
elegant, functional, and perfectly aligned with my brand’s aesthetic. The
newsletter template she crafted is making it so easy for me to communicate
effectively with my audience, and additionally, Hannah created extra Pinterest
content that will significantly boost my online presence, driving engagement
and attracting new followers.
Hannah’s attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to excellence truly
sets her apart. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and has become an
invaluable partner in my business’s growth.

As a busy small business owner, seemingly "simple" tasks meant to keep my brand looking and feeling fresh often get deprioritized while I focus on other things. Hannah's Studio Days are a quick solve to this that required very little lift on my end, and produced results that I can repurpose over and over again (including a FABULOUS new proposal template that I just know is going to leave impactful first impressions on inquiring new clients). Hannah never ceases to amaze me with her endless talent and ability to nail the vision for your brand on her first attempt, and I love that our existing work on my brand helped us transition seamlessly into this next phase of projects. From business cards, swag, templates and signatures, Hannah keeps my brand presence consistent at every turn of my customer's journey, and I couldn't be happier with it all.

Meet THE CREATOR
I’m Hannah Batkoski—mama of (soon to be two) boys, founder of Duende Design Co, and creator of The Studio Day Framework. Over the past 10+ years, I’ve honed my craft as a designer, and for the last 5, I’ve navigated life as a full-time solopreneur, helping a countless number of businesses bring their visions to life through intentional, impactful brand and web experiences.
Studio Days were born out of my desire to better support my clients. Inspired by the industry-shifting success of brand and website intensives, I reimagined the concept to strengthen relationships with existing clients. The result? A game-changing service that grew my revenue, streamlined my process, and gave me the flexibility to prioritize what matters most.
Studio Days have completely transformed my business—and now, I’m so excited to share this framework with you to help unlock your own potential.
W. Love, H.
