I have a wide range of deliverables that can be utilized in various industries such as marketing, advertising, branding, social media design, print media, packaging, and more. 

Identity Design: Graphic designers help businesses establish their brand identity by creating logos, color palettes, typography, and visual elements that represent the essence and values of the brand.

Overall, my services are essential for businesses and individuals seeking professional and visually compelling visual content. Whether it's creating a brand identity, designing marketing materials, or enhancing the digital presence.

2. Do you charge hourly or a flat rate?

On occasion, I have worked with clients who prefer hourly rates for their projects. I track the amount of time spent on the project and bill the client accordingly. The hourly rate may vary depending on the project, deadline, etc. This pricing model is often used for projects with uncertain or changing scope, where estimating the total time required is difficult.

Project-based / Flat Fee: I offer project-based pricing or a flat fee for my services. In this model, I evaluate the project requirements, complexity, and deliverables and provide a quote for the entire project. This allows you to have a clear understanding of the cost upfront. Project-based pricing is often used for well-defined projects with specific goals.

3. How does the design process work?

Concept Development: Based on the information gathered, I will brainstorm ideas and develop design concepts. This stage involves sketching, exploring different approaches, and generating initial design concepts that align with the project objectives and your project’s vision.

Design Creation: Once the concept is selected or approved, I proceed to create the actual design. This stage involves refining the chosen concept, selecting appropriate typography, color palettes, and creating visual elements that effectively communicate the intended message.

Feedback: The client is presented with the initial design drafts or concepts for review. Feedback and input from the client are collected, and revisions or iterations are made based on the feedback. This feedback loop may go through several rounds until the design meets the client's expectations and requirements.

Finalization and Delivery: Once the design is refined and approved, the finalization stage begins. I prepare the design files in the appropriate formats and resolutions for the intended use (e.g., print, web). These files are then delivered to the client, either electronically or physically, depending on the project requirements.

4. Do you do any last-minute designs?

I do offer expedited work and it's important to communicate your specific requirements, deadlines, and expectations clearly to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Providing as much detail as possible and being responsive to any questions or requests I may have regarding your project.  Remember that design projects may vary in complexity, and some intricate or elaborate designs may require more time to complete. It's always advisable to discuss the timeframe and feasibility of quick-turnaround jobs with me before initiating the project to ensure realistic expectations and a successful outcome. Please keep in mind there are additional expedited fees depending on my current availability..
