Brand Extensions

Editorial and design services that complement your Brand Edition.

Studio Kalili offers select services beyond our core Editions — designed for moments when your work requires additional strategic or editorial support. These aren’t à la carte offerings. They’re intentional extensions of the systems we build together.

Most Extensions are available only to clients with an established Studio Kalili brand identity — ensuring everything we create maintains the coherence and rigor of your Edition.


Brand Applications
and Collateral

Business cards, letterhead, stationery, and brand materials.

After your Brand Edition establishes your identity, you may need additional applications for daily use. These are the tangible expressions of your brand that move through the world.

Timeline: 1–2 weeks per application

Note: These can only be designed for clients with an established Studio Kalili brand identity.

Package option: The Essentials Package (business cards + letterhead + email signature): $1,400.
Everything you need to look cohesive from day one.

Photo Book Design

For photographers, artists, and image-makers ready to put their work in print.

A photo book is one of the most considered ways to present visual work — and one of the easiest to get wrong. Sequencing, pacing, white space, and type all shape how images are experienced. This service is for photographers and visual artists who want their work held together by a design logic as intentional as the work itself.

Timeline: 3–6 weeks

Investment: $3,000–$5,500 (up to 80 pages)

For authors, thought leaders, and self-publishers.

Whether you’re publishing a monograph, memoir, essay collection, or business book, editorial design ensures your content is presented with the clarity and sophistication it deserves.

WHAT TO EXPECT

How Extensions Work


Who Can Book Extensions

Most Extensions require an established Studio Kalili brand identity. If you’re a current or past client, you’re eligible. If you’re working with another designer but need editorial design support (books, zines, reports), inquire and we’ll discuss fit.


When to Add Extensions

Extensions are typically added after your core Edition completes, though some (like collateral or publications) can run parallel if timelines require.


Special Booking

Extensions are booked separately from your Edition and require their own agreement and timeline. Availability depends on current project load.


Priority for Existing Clients

Past and current Studio Kalili clients receive priority booking and a 10% discount on all extensions (excluding retainers).


Content vs. Design

Unless explicitly stated as a copywriting service, design-focused extensions assume you provide the content. I design the structure, hierarchy, and visual presentation — you provide the words. Copywriting can be added to most services for an additional fee.


Payment Structure

Extensions under $3,000 follow milestone-based payment structures similar to Brand Editions. Larger projects are typically billed 50% upfront, 50% upon delivery.


Custom Requests

Need something not listed here? Submit an inquiry. If it aligns with editorial thinking and strategic work, we’ll scope it together.
