Q: What kind of Services do you offer?
I offer professional branding, website design, user experience (UX) design, digital and print collateral design, and marketing consulting. If you require a service I don’t offer, I’m happy to share a referral to one of my trusted creative colleagues.
Q: Do I own my designs?
As a part of my contract, all design ownership is signed over to you upon the completion of your project. I’ll still retain rights as the creator to display your pieces digitally and in print, but you’ll be able to start showing off your brand immediately.
Q: I’m just starting out and don’t have a lot of information to give you, is that ok?
Absolutely. This isn’t my first rodeo and I’m more than happy to help you navigate the process of discovering and developing your brand.
Q: Can I have the creative files?
To keep the integrity of your designs, I make it a point to retain all creative files. I’m happy to export your final files as .eps files in the event you need a vector file for print products, but I will keep all .ai files (and the messy creative process inside them).
Q: What do I need to Get started?
Depending on your payment plan, I require at least 25% retainer and a signed contract to get started. Your final balance is due on delivery of your final files.
Q: What does the design process look like?
I do my best to make the process as stress free as possible for you. First we’ll chat to review information regarding your brand and project. From there, I’ll mock up some ideas and collect some brand inspiration for you to check out. Once we’re confident in the direction your brand needs to go, I’ll develop those sketches and ideas into full fledged designs. Finally, after some tweaking and perfecting, I’ll deliver your final files.
Q: How long does the whole process take?
It takes two to tango! When we’re in sync, I generally give three weeks in between project stages. It is difficult to give an exact timeline as each brand and project is different. If you have deadlines that must be met, please communicate them to me and we’ll create a timeline that fits.
Q: Will you copy this really awesome design I Found?
I won’t copy another designer’s work. Your brand is unique and deserves to stand out - which is pretty hard to do if you’re using another brand’s ideas.
Q: Do you offer a discount?
This is not a premade logo shop, every design I make is original and custom. In order to support my growing business and family, I cannot offer discounts for the time and expertise I spend with my clients. However, I know cashflow can be tight so I’m willing to be flexible with payment schedules.
