1) Brainstorming
If you’d like to meet up, I’ll send you a questionnaire that will help you define the visual qualities of the design you want. I’ll also ask that you send or bring any visuals (from other companies, photos, messaging, colors, etc.) that you might want to draw from as inspiration. Think of this as a kind of mood board that we can put together when we meet. Neither of these things have to be perfectly put together or articulated on your end. It’s just a starting place that will help us tease things out when we talk. 

2) Meetup - This consultation is free!
We can meet in person, video chat, or have a phone call to discuss the project. The first meeting must be one of these three things to ensure clear communication and prevent wasting of any time. Meeting in person or video chat are always best, but phone conversations can be exceptions at times. I’ll take notes and draw up concepts for you to look at while we talk or to be sent after the meeting. If you don’t feel like we are having a “meeting of the minds,” and decide to go elsewhere for your project, no worries. There is no charge or hard feelings.

3) Summary and drafts
If you are happy with our meeting and want to engage my services, I’ll send you a summary email from our meeting with any visuals for you to look over and approve. I’ll require 50% payment up front, and any source files (fonts, text, photos, etc.) that I need to begin the project. From there it is typically no more than three weeks turnaround time for the project, but I’ll let you know what I think the project will require when we meet. In between that time, I’ll give you a date for when I’ll send first drafts for you to look over. All major feedback on draft must be done in person, over video chat, or over the phone. 

4) Final files
I’ll send you the finalized files in the formats you need as well as larger InDesign and Illustrator files that you can use on your own to send to other designers for future use if you ever have the need. You may not need these files, but you’ll have them and the power to use them in the future independently of me.
