When others simply say “it depends” (and that’s often true), this is what Maison Berthier came up with:

• A hybrid approach, combining predefined packages, daily fees, and fully custom solutions. A fair and transparent pricing model based on years of experience, helping keep things clear and avoiding pricing uncertainty on both sides.

• In concrete terms, design costs are generally based on time spent (€80/hour or €600/day), but not exclusively. Some projects require more time than their immediate deliverables suggest, while others achieve strong impact within a shorter timeframe. That’s when packages come in handy.

• To simplify things, Maison Berthier created a design packages system covering the most common scenarios (e.g. Brand Identity Starter Pack or Shopify Store Design). Check them out here.
  Larger or more complex projects are quoted individually, based on scope, level of exploration, number of applications, and overall complexity.

Final pricing is always confirmed after an initial discussion about your needs.

A 50% deposit is required upon order confirmation.

The timeline varies according to scope, complexity and decision-making, but a Tailored Brand Identity project typically range from 3 weeks to 3 months from kick‑off to final delivery.

Smaller services like the Starter Pack are designed for projects that need to move quickly: 2 dedicated days with one feedback round.

Maison Berthier is a good fit for small to mid-sized brands, founders, creative agencies, and cultural or hospitality projects at various stages of their development.

Typical collaborators come with a clear ambition and are looking for a senior specialist able to think globally while remaining attentive to detail.

Maison Berthier is particularly well suited to environments where quality, nuance, and intention matter.

If you recognise yourself — Maison Berthier is likely the right partner.

Yes. Laura Berthier, the face and hands behind Maison Berthier, can be booked on a daily basis (Book the Designer) — providing creative agencies with senior design expertise without a long-term commitment.

For ongoing or periodic collaborations, we can discuss your needs and logistics to structure the most suitable design package — whether through a monthly fee or dedicated recurring days.

At the end of a project, you will receive final, ready-to-use files adapted to the agreed applications (web, print, packaging, etc.), typically including formats such as SVG, PDF, JPG, or PNG, as well as access to Figma source files for digital projects.

These files come with usage rights allowing you to use the work freely across the intended and approved media.

Depending on the nature of the mission, deliverables may also include supporting documents or presentations prepared by Maison Berthier — such as brand guidelines — to help you apply the work consistently.

After delivery, Maison Berthier is always happy to support the evolution of your brand when needed.

Every project starts with a conversation. A clear brief always helps move faster but it doesn’t have to be perfect.

If you already have a solid idea in mind, you can directly select one of our predefined Design Package. Maison Berthier will then reach out to schedule a kick-off meeting.

During this first exchange, we will align on the essentials, and you will be asked to share:

• Your brand story and positioning

• Your audience and market context

• Any existing logos, colour palettes, fonts, or visual references

• Your goals and timeline expectations

If things are still taking shape, no stress. Maison Berthier is happy to get involved early and help refine your ideas.

If you’re unsure where to start, simply submit your project and Laura will guide you through the next steps.
