Design Support Without the Red Tape: My Approach to Micro-Collaborations

May 2

Written By Stacey

In the regenerative space, things move fast. Whether you're prepping for a farmers’ market launch, finalizing investor materials, or communicating the story behind your soil health practices, you often need design support that’s nimble, efficient, and deeply aligned with your mission.

However, you may find that design studios and agencies aren’t willing to take on a small one-off project leaving you with no choice but to do it yourself. One-off projects are usually not worth it for an agency that has employees and a snazzy studio space to pay for. For me, one-off small projects aren’t just about the paycheck.

Keep reading to find why I offer small, one-off design projects for regenerative agriculture and regenerative CPG brands.

Your team is busy growing more than just crops or product lines — you’re building a better food system. But that doesn’t always mean you need a full rebrand or multi-month engagement. Sometimes, what you really need is:

A product sell sheet to pitch to new retailers
An infographic on your carbon drawdown process
A polished deck for a pitch event
Beautiful labels for a small-batch release
Social media assets that communicate your values and catch the eye

Outside Minds Creative thrives on these kinds of focused, high-impact design sprints. They help you move forward without the lag, commitment, and price tag of a big agency process.

who i work with

I partner with:

Regenerative farms scaling direct-to-consumer efforts
Mission-led CPG brands sharing stories of transparency and traceability
Food hubs and co-ops looking to expand community education
Ag-tech startups building tools for regenerative growers
Nonprofit organizations working towards food security for everyone, protecting wildlife, and furthering regenerative farming practices

If your mission is to repair ecosystems, support farmers, or create truly non-destructive products, I want to help you tell that story beautifully.

what “one-off” really means

These projects might be small in scope, but they're never small in intention. Every label, slide, and icon is part of a bigger movement toward systemic change. I honor that with design that’s thoughtful, strategic, and rooted in your values. Here are some examples of one-off projects I’ve done recently:
