FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I usually price my work according to size and difficulty, however, when working through Thumbtack, I am unable to discuss details until the quote is submitted. So if the project is simpler than what my quoted price justifies, I will make adjustments. If it is more difficult, I will stand behind my quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with them to allow them to review my portfolio and to discuss their project. If they are unsure exactly what they want, I work up a few rough sketches on the spot to settle on an idea. I then do a preliminary sketch for them to approve before doing the final project.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am self-taught and have been freelancing for over ten years. I am currently working on my AA in fine art and am putting together a portfolio to submit to Ringling College of Art and Design. I have won awards at the last 2 art competitions at SPC, and had a piece accepted in the juried competition at the Clearwater campus gallery.
