Let’s create something together!

I believe the best design work creates a bridge that connects your unique story with your ideal audience. We’ll build that bridge together from the foundation up.

If you are:  a writer, an artist, a creative entrepreneur or a small publisher who’s committed, passionate & excited about your work—you’ll totally enjoy working with me: a graphic designer, illustrator and art director who specializes in working collaboratively with other creative professionals to bring your projects to life.

How can I help you?

So, how do you know if we’re a good match?
How do you decide if I’m the designer or illustrator for you?

I’m dedicated to working with clients where there’s good rapport and understanding because in my experience that is the most important part of working together. Read the list below to see If we’re a good fit:

• You’re excited to work collaboratively to create the very best solution for your project;

• You want to work with someone who’s willing to explore until the perfect solution is found;

• You enjoy people who like to keep the level of thinking high;

• You want to have fun and feel engaged;

• You appreciate honest dialogue that’s kind, helpful and directed;

• You appreciate focus and clear project parameters;

• You understand that great design doesn’t happen with the click of a mouse;

• You are as certain of the one-of-a-kindness in your work, as I am of mine.

A Look at the Design/Illustration Process:

1. Getting to Know You We begin with a 30 minute consultation call and we’ll talk about your work, your business, your time line {and mine} pricing and payment schedules. After we’ve spoken I’ll send you a questionnaire to fill out. Once we’ve agreed to work together, details are finalized, contracts are signed and a 33% deposit on the project is made.

2. Exploring Your Project I’ll ask you to spend some time pulling together visual inspiration on a private Pinterest pin board. You’ll fill the board with type, colors, and imagery that you feel is in line with your project, your brand {if it applies} and your overall aesthetic. Your pin board will give me a place to start listening to your story.

3. Defining Your Project Now it’s my turn. After I review all of the information you’ve given me I’ll put together a Creative Brief. It will set the stage and define an overall design direction and color palette for your project. After we’ve had a chance to discuss the Brief and fine-tune the details, I’ll create a design strategy and start the design process: brainstorming ideas, sketching and creating digital concepts.

4. Create Create Create I’ll create several design options {the number of options will be agreed upon at the contract stage} for you to review for our first deadline and then it’s your turn to provide honest, detailed feedback. We’ll discuss the designs that you’re most drawn to and then we’ll choose the final design direction and discuss adjustments, alterations and revisions to that design.

5. Wrapping the Party Once we’ve completed the revisions, and I’ve delivered a final design for your project, it’s time to wrap up loose ends. You’ll be billed for the remaining balance and as soon as your final payment is received, you will receive your packaged project files.
