FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I thoroughly discuss the project at hand with my clients from the beginning. I encourage the client to bring any samples, color combinations/swatches, and ideas they may have. I strive for the client to be involved every step of the way. During the design process, the client is asked to approve certain milestones before work continues. If I am printing the design project, I will submit a final proof for the customer’s approval before submitting to print. If approved, the design job will move into production. At the conclusion of a project, the client may request the artwork in various formats.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken many design classes while earning my Bachelors of Arts degree at North Greenville University. I also attend webinars online to learn new techniques and follow the latest trends. Also, most designers would agree to doing this as well, but I critique every design that I look at; it’s a curse that comes with the job. Although, it challenges me to create things better than our culture’s standards.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
My advice is to ask questions when you have them. Many times, clients will either be too afraid, or even too nice because they don’t want to feel like a bother, that they will not ask questions on how things work or even give suggestions. I want to teach all of my clients anything I know so that, in the future, they will have a better understanding of what’s needed with whatever is set before them. Also, be sure that your chosen designer knows how to set up production ready files. I’ve found that many people claim to be graphic designers, but fail to know basic production rules.
