HOW WE’d WORK TOGETHER

Creative BRIEF stage 1.

What’s your creative brief? What do you want us to create together! The sky is the proverbial limit so let me know every detail you can think of and who your audience is.

2. moodboard stage

This is where the fun starts! After we work out the brief, I’ll start making some design magic. That means: moodboards to set the stage of what vibe you ’ re going for, color palates, font options, imagery that makes you excited for your project!

3. draft stage

I present you with 3 different drafts of your project. This is where you get to see what the final project COULD look like. We will do TWO rounds of revisions. More rounds cost extra.

4. final work stage

We’ve reached the end! I’ll polish up your final product and make sure it’s print-ready, webready or whatever format you need. I can recommend printers or outside vendors you may need to complete the gig. And there we go!
