In consulting, visuals matter as much as numbers. For Commit Partnership, a fast-growing data analytics firm, their work revolved around turning raw data into clarity for clients. That meant building dashboards, reports, and presentations that didn’t just inform but impressed.
As their client list expanded, so did the creative demand. Every new project required custom visuals, and each client expected a professional touch that matched the quality of the insights Commit delivered.
The problem? Commit Partnership's small team faced significant challenges. Hiring full-time designers wasn’t financially viable, yet relying on freelancers led to inconsistency and missed deadlines. Something had to change.
The creative crunch
Commit’s leadership realized that design had become a bottleneck. They were spending more time managing creative output than refining their data solutions. Every project needed revisions, brand alignment, and countless rounds of feedback. What used to take days was now taking weeks.
They needed a design process that could move as fast as their ideas. That’s when they discovered Design Pickle.
A smarter way to create
Design Pickle offered something refreshingly simple: unlimited design requests for a flat monthly rate. More importantly, the service came with a dedicated creative team that acted as an extension of Commit’s workflow.
Instead of bouncing between multiple freelancers, Commit could upload briefs directly through the platform, queue up tasks, and receive completed assets within days. They no longer had to compromise between speed and quality.
The first few weeks were revealing. Design Pickle’s designers quickly learned Commit’s visual preferences, brand colors, and communication style. What initially appeared as a constantly changing group of disjointed designers began to feel like a dependable in-house team, minus the overhead.
The impressive results
By shifting their creative operations to Design Pickle, Commit saved an estimated $185,000 annually in design costs. That’s money that would have gone to salaries, software, and administrative overhead.
But the financial savings were only part of the story. Their creative turnaround time improved dramatically. Assets that once took a week were now being delivered in under 48 hours. This agility allowed Commit to respond faster to client needs, refine presentations on the fly, and maintain visual consistency across all touchpoints.
The team’s workflow also became more predictable. They could schedule campaigns, plan deliverables, and meet deadlines without the stress of creative bottlenecks.
Why adopting Design Pickle worked
Design Pickle’s model fit Commit’s business perfectly. The platform’s structure—clear requests, transparent progress tracking, and responsive design delivery—meant that Commit’s internal team could stay focused on strategy and client success.
Having a creative partner who brought structure and speed was crucial for Commit, a company that values clarity and insight. Instead of spending time chasing designers or managing multiple contracts, Commit could devote its energy to what truly mattered: helping clients make sense of their data.
Design Pickle also removed the unpredictability of traditional design outsourcing. There were no hourly rates or last-minute quotes, just a straightforward subscription that gave Commit peace of mind.
A wider shift in creative operations
Commit’s story isn’t unique. More and more companies are rethinking how they handle creative work. Rather than building large in-house design teams or relying on inconsistent freelancers, many are choosing scalable creative subscriptions that grow with their business.
The customer stories on Design Pickle's website are a true testament to this trend.
This shift reflects a larger trend across industries, from fashion and tech to consulting and marketing. Businesses want consistent, affordable design support that aligns with their pace of growth. Design Pickle’s model has made that possible, giving teams a way to stay creative without losing control of their budgets or timelines.
For Commit Partnership, Design Pickle became more than just a design service. It became a strategic advantage.

They saved money, yes, but they also gained time, focus, and creative stability. Their dashboards and client materials now communicate as clearly as the insights behind them. Most importantly, their team no longer sees design as a hurdle but as an effortless part of their process.
In the end, that’s what scaling should feel like…simple, sustainable, and creatively free.
