THE PROCESS
​
-
The initial consultation is free. We can discuss your project over the phone, through e-mail or preferably, in person. In order to provide you with an accurate quote, I will need the information described above. I may do a some very basic sketches or digital mockups to determine the intricacy of your desired style.​
-
Once I have a clear understanding of the above, I will send a Proposal that includes pricing and other information.
-
If extensive designs are necessary, I may include a Non-Disclosure Agreement that must be signed and returned to me prior to commencement of the design work.
-
I will then send an Invoice for your 50% deposit. Payment options are listed on the invoice. Deposit payment must be received before commencement of the design work.
-
With the Invoice, I will send a Contract that outlines all financial and legal details surround the transaction. This Contract must be returned signed (an electronic signature request will be sent) before commencement of the design work.
-
After receipt of the signed NDA, signed contract and deposit, I will provide basic drawings/designs, if necessary.
-
When we've agreed on a final design, I will begin finalizing the artwork.
-
Throughout the process, I will share progress photos with you to ensure that the project is headed in the right direction.
-
Once complete, an invoice for the remaining 50% will be sent.
-
When the final payment is received, I will provide you with a receipt.
​
ADDITIONAL ITEMS THAT MAY AFFECT YOUR QUOTE
​
-
Quote will be provided based on an estimated number of hours to complete the work. Work in excess of the estimated time will be billed at a rate of $75/hour.
-
Design modifications or additions made after the design has been accepted and work begun, may incur additional fees, depending on the scope of the changes.
