FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I keep a time sheet of the project and give you the lower of the two - the quoted price or my hourly rate.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The client and I discuss the nature and requirements of the project. For items such as brochures, mailers, flyers, normally I am provided with copy and sometimes photos. I also offer logo creation, illustration and photo retouching & layering; web too - icons for your social media pages adjusted to fit, graphics, backgrounds and websites. Once we agree on a price and plan of action, I begin work and prepare a proof for you. This proof will be password protected or watermarked. You will tell me what you think and I will adjust accordingly and provide proofs until we get it perfect! Once payment is made, you receive your high-resolution print or web file(s).
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a B.A. Degree in Graphic Arts and over 15 years experience as a Graphic Designer. I am fluent in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark Xpress, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Word, and PowerPoint. I also have worked with Content Management Systems such as WordPress, Shopify and Wix. I have worked on both Mac and PC platforms and can transition between the two. I know how to brand, target to a customer base, and multi-task. I pride myself on being accurate and efficient. I have extensive experience in prepress. Prior to my work as a designer, I was a Prepress Technician troubleshooting customer files and setting them up for print. I have also designed and set-up large format files.
