FT Lab Design offers a complimentary assessment and preferred pricing for local organizations ready to level up their visuals and marketing.

If you’re running a small business or nonprofit in Tucson, your brand and website should work as hard as you do. I offer a free, no-pressure review of your current materials — plus a clear, discounted path forward if you’d like help implementing improvements.

Why Melissa / FT Lab Design

I’m Melissa Schmidt, founder and lead designer at FT Lab Design, a small design studio based in Tucson. I specialize in:

  • Brand identity for small businesses and nonprofits
  • Print and marketing collateral
  • Website design and visual refreshes

I handle most projects personally and bring in trusted collaborators when needed. That means you get expert design, clear communication, and one point of contact from start to finish.

I created this local program because many Tucson organizations don’t need a big agency — they need focused, practical design support that fits a real-world budget.

Is the assessment really free?

Yes. The assessment and written recap are complimentary. If you ask for a proposal, you’ll see clearly labeled pricing before you decide on anything.

Do I have to be in Tucson?

This offer is prioritized for Tucson and Southern Arizona organizations. If you’re nearby or have strong ties to the area, reach out and we can see if it’s a fit.

What size of organization is this best for?

Typically: small businesses, early-stage startups, and nonprofits with lean teams. If you’re larger but still locally focused, you’re welcome to apply.

What if I don’t have a website yet?

We can focus the assessment on your brand and planned online presence—your goals, audience, and any materials you already have (logo, pitch deck, social profiles, etc.).

Can we combine brand and website in one session?

To keep it focused and useful, I recommend choosing one area per session. If it makes sense, we can schedule a follow-up for the other.
