Frequently Asked Questions

I don’t need a whole brand created, can you still work with me?

Absolutely! I love working within organizations pre-determined brand guidelines just as much as I love creating them. Please send me a message through the contact form below with more details of what you’re looking for. 

Do you work with organizations on an ongoing basis?

Depending on the needs of my clients, I can work with them on an ongoing basis or on a one-time project or event. However, my clients that often come to me for one event usually come back for more because they enjoy the process so much. Take a look at some of the testimonials that they’ve shared.  

How much do you charge?

My minimum fee is $1,500 for a new client (after that I will take on smaller projects if we continue to work together on a regular basis).

However, the total cost for each project is different, and many factors play a role in determining a project fee . I provide a customized proposal for each project request that includes an outline of the scope of work, estimated design costs and potential other costs, and an estimated timeline to complete your project.

What's the typical timeline for a project?

Each timeline is unique to the project. Depending on the size, they can run anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Generally, the more moving parts to the project, the longer it will take. I recommend reaching out with more details and we can determine a timeline together.

I have a project that won't start for several months, is it too early to discuss my graphic design needs? 

It's never too early! Planning ahead and securing a spot on my calendar is the best way to start. We can get estimates, scheduling, and contracts out of the way far in advance then hit the ground running when it's time to start your project.

What about a project that starts immediately?

Depending on the season, I may be able to start sooner than my typical four-week lead time. Complete the form below with your project deadline and I'll let you know if the timeline is doable before we set up a call. 

What are your hours? 

I work typical business hours Mondays through Fridays. My business is closed for federal holidays and if I'm taking any personal time off or will be out of office, I notify my clients in advance and include those details in my email signature for regular reminder.  

What if my project requires more than graphic design?

Sometimes two minds are better than one or a deadline may require some extra hands. I have a network of trusted and vetted creative partners and can assemble a team to fit your needs. However, I am always the main point of contact and manage the projects

How do we get started? 

First, complete the contact form below so that we can schedule a time to discuss your upcoming graphic design needs. If we are a good fit, we’ll schedule a call to chat in more detail about your needs and I can provide you with a customized estimate. Once approved, an initial payment and signed contract is required before the work begins. I recommend budgeting one to two weeks of time for the administration and introduction phase (or longer, depending on your organization's protocol for onboarding a new vendor).


Let’s Talk!

Let's set up a 30-minute, complimentary phone (or video) call to candidly discuss your needs, and see if we are a good fit to collaborate. Please include a brief description about your project including timeline.
