SJ Creative / Brampton, Ontario
Design that survives contact with the real world.
A small studio making identities, websites and campaigns for people who would rather be understood than admired.
What we are
Fewer clients, closer work.
SJ Creative takes on a handful of projects at a time. That is a deliberate limit, not a growth stage. It means the person who scopes your work is the person who makes it, and nothing gets passed down a chain until the intent wears off.
We work in the open: agreed scope, visible milestones, and files you own outright at the end. You see the thinking before you see the polish, so decisions get made while they are still cheap to change.
A brand is not a logo you approve once. It is every surface a person meets before they decide to trust you.
Capabilities
Four things, done properly.
Most projects start in one of these and pull in a second. We will tell you which ones you actually need, including when the answer is fewer than you expected.
Brand identity systems
Naming, marks, type and colour systems, and a set of rules plain enough that your team can apply them without calling us.
Websites and digital
Marketing sites, landing pages and storefronts built to load fast, read clearly on a phone, and be edited by a human afterwards.
Content and campaign
Photo and video direction, social templates, and ad creative that stays recognisable across every placement it lands in.
Creative direction
Audits, positioning and ongoing art direction for teams that already produce work and need a consistent standard held.
How we bill
You approve the work, then you get the invoice.
Every project starts with a consult, and scope and milestones are agreed in writing before anything begins. From there the order never changes: we deliver, you review, we revise, you approve, and only then does an invoice go out.
Pay after delivery
No deposit for work you have not seen. Invoices follow completed and approved milestones, never precede them.
Getting it right is the job
Reasonable revisions to reach the agreed outcome are part of the milestone, not a separate line item.
Unfinished means refunded
If a project cannot be completed, any paid but undelivered milestone is refunded on a pro rata basis.
Short of the mark, not billed
If work was done but the milestone was not reached, it is not charged. The standard is the milestone, not the hours.
Payments are taken through Stripe and PayPal. Full scope, fees, currency, timelines and refund terms are set out in a written agreement and on the Terms & Conditions page.
