What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When it comes to pricing our projects, we like to keep things simple. For smaller projects, we offer a flat rate, while larger websites and designs are charged at an hourly rate. We believe this approach is fair to both parties and ensures that everyone is accountable for their time. After all, we value your time just as much as ours!
For logo designs, our prices start at $250. We also offer special add-ons tailored to your business needs, such as website design, business card design, commercial printing, branding guides, social media graphics, and more. Our branding packages start at $550, giving you everything you need to make a lasting impression.
If you're looking to build a website, our basic design packages start at $3,000. We've broken down our process into milestones to make it easy for our clients to understand each project phase, from choosing a color palette to launching your site. We're here to guide you every step of the way!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process is the core of my design. My ultimate goal is to provide the client with a memorable experience and a successful project.
π LET'S SET A DATE:
To lock in a date on our calendar, all you need to do is give the thumbs up to the proposal, submit the deposit, and sign the contract.
π STARTING LINE KICKOFF:
We'll kick things off with a quick intro session to get a handle on your project. We'll hash out the timeline, the steps ahead, and set some guidelines for working together effectively. This chat is our chance to make sure we're all singing from the same hymn sheet, so don't hold back with any questions or thoughts.
π YOUR HOMEWORK:
Expect to receive a meaty questionnaire that dives deep into your business, goals, and target audience. We're also keen to hear all about your design ideas and any visual inspiration you've got up your sleeve. Your input will be the fuel for our project strategy.
π FOCUS CALL TIME:
We'll pin down a time for a focused call to chew over the Project Brief. This step is all about making sure the info you've given us lines up with our initial ideas before we dive into the nitty-gritty of bringing it all to life.
π CONCEPTUALIZATION + LOGO IDEAS:
After our chat, we'll get our creative hats on and whip up some initial logo concepts. You'll get a full presentation showcasing the complete logo, a breakdown of the logomark for when it needs to fly solo, and even a real-world mockup to see how it looks in action.
π REFINE + REVISE:
Once you've had a chance to digest the concepts, let us know your thoughts. If the first round didn't quite hit the spot, no worriesβwe're more than happy to tweak things to make sure you're totally thrilled with the result.
π FINAL TOUCHES + HANDOVER:
Once everything looks shipshape and you give us the green light, we'll package up all the final files and send you a link to your logo portal. There, you'll find your shiny new logo files along with all the branding guidelines you'll need to keep your brand looking its best. For all the fine print on what's included, you can always check out our website.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As a graphic designer, our field doesn't come with formal certifications. However, with over 25 years of experience, I've had the privilege of leading design and user experience teams for some of the biggest corporations. Transitioning into a role as a business owner, I've made it my mission to deliver only the highest-quality services to my clients.
As a woman-owned business, we're all about staying on top of the latest trends and continuously striving for excellence. Our dedication to learning is constant, as we immerse ourselves in mastering our craft and staying ahead of evolving trends and technology.
Here's to pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional results together!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Driven by my love for art, I pursued a major in Fine Arts during college, dedicating my life to painting, sketching, and drawing. It was in the late '90s that I discovered the thrilling intersection of my artistic passion and technology. This realization led me to fall head over heels for the digital design world.
This passion doesn't just resonate with meβit extends to my entire team. Together, we share a deep and abiding love for the creative realms of digital design.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We've got quite the portfolio under our belt! From logo design to an array of print materials, invitations, promotional goodies, and even vinyl banners, we've successfully delivered it all.
But wait, there's more! When it comes to web projects, we're your go-to team. Whether it's crafting custom WordPress themes, building complete websites from scratch, setting up eCommerce solutions, or strategizing killer email marketing campaigns, we've got you covered.
We've had the pleasure of collaborating with some big names like Brother International and Expedia, as well as diving into small business ventures and individual design projects. No matter the size of the task, we're fueled by ambitious dreams and ready to bring them to life!
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Every project we tackle is a whole new adventure. While our process and approach might stay consistent, each client brings a fresh perspective because every brand, company, and vision is totally unique.
Typically, logo design projects are wrapped up within 3-4 weeks, while websites usually take around 3-4 months to complete. Of course, these timelines can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. But hey, that's all part of the fun!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When you're on the hunt for a designer, be sure to give their portfolio a good once-over. It's like a sneak peek into their style and what they're capable of, all through their past projects. Oh, and don't forget to check out those reviews too! They're like little nuggets of wisdom straight from the mouths of previous clients. After all, a good designer is all about going the extra mile to keep their clients smiling, and those reviews are the real deal when it comes to showing off their skills!
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Got any ideas floating around for your project? Maybe some specific imagery in mind or colors and styles you're into (or totally not into)? And hey, when it comes to websites, have you thought about how many pages you'll need or what kind of functionality you're afterβlike contact forms, scheduling, e-commerce, or a blog?
Thinking about how you want to showcase your brand is the first step in helping us design something that's truly you!
Once you're on board with us, we kick things off with a design questionnaire and style inspiration form. These help us get the lowdown on your company and what you're after. From there, we whip up a comprehensive project brief and schedule a focus call. Your time and thoughtful responses to our questions make all the difference, setting us up for success from start to finish!
