Introduction: I think my style is unique and my pricing is relatively low in comparison to some of the pricing out there. I am also usually able to work with customers on pricing options as well as ship anywhere on even the tightest of time frames. *pricing and payment policy updated* I like that it is something that I genuinely enjoy doing. Anytime you have a job that is JUST a job, enthusiasm tends to wane and it becomes laborsome. I LOVE lettering and potraiture so I get it done quickly and with accuracy.

She has done amazing work for me in the past.... Invitations and place cards mostly. She is a pleasure to work with and really gives her all with every project! You won't be disappointed!

I had a great experience with Kenya initially (when I gave her my half of the payment before she started work). It wasn't until after things were delivered that we had issues. I received my items in a paper envelope (they should have been neatly packaged in a box), so they arrived bent and wet a day before my wedding. After they arrived a day late, I sent her photos of the wet, bent, damaged signs and told her it was unacceptable and that I did not think I should have to pay for items we couldn't use for our wedding. A week later, she sends threatening e-mails and was extremely rude and hurtful. I am more than willing and able to pay for items I received, but the way in which she carries herself is not someone anyone would want to do business with -- threatening to take someone to collections after you ask them what is fair payment is very disrespectful and not a way to handle business. Do yourself a favor and ensure that she packages them NEATLY first and you tell her exactly how you expect to receive items otherwise you will be sorely disappointed.

Completely untrue. Internet scam artist who is in the process of being sent to collections.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
A la carte prices typically range anywhere from $1/piece (place cards) and $1.50/ envelope and up depending on size, font, and any other features. Pricing is discounted when processing package requests. ** Minimum of 50% of the agreed price is due as deposit before I start work and is non refundable. The balance is due at completion prior to shipping, unless alternate arrangements are made. Shipping via priority mail is included in your pricing. Upgraded shipping options and alternate payment options can also be discussed on an individual basis. Multiple payment methods are offered as well.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A brief interview of sorts. We would discuss designs they have in mind, time frames and any special requests. I walk them through sample selection, policies regarding payment and general info they can use even if they decide not to work work me.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
One friend asked me to letter her wedding invites sometime around 2005. From there it spread by word of mouth at her wedding. I've been doing this ever since.
