FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I will do my very best to work with your budget and provide accurate estimates along the way. I typically charge by the hour, but I can provide an estimate for a particular job. I require 1/3 of the estimated cost up front to start the project, and the balance upon completion before sending the final, press-ready artwork. Once a relationship is established with a client, I can extend up to 30 days for invoices to be paid after the artwork is delivered.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a free 30-minute consultation for new customers and they can ask me anything about their project and I offer help and advice that will lead them in a good direction to get the best results for their project. I often ask clients to provide me with samples of other designs they like so I can quickly assess their preferences and move in the right direction. This is especially helpful for authors wanting a stellar book design.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in graphic design and I love the availability of all the software tutorials online so I can stay current!
