Derek helped me with a PowerPoint for a dissertation proposal defense and did a really professional job. His design work (including some complicated diagrams that he had to build from scratch) was excellent and he was super prompt and easy to work with. I will definitely use him again.

Derek quickly re-worked our logo into multiple files that will work best for a variety of needs. After spending multiple days trying to do so myself, I very much wish I would have hired him sooner (before I began trying to do the entire thing myself weeks ago)! It was a true pleasure working with him and we’ll absolutely be back! As a young business we know we’ll have future needs. A huge thanks to him!

I highly recommend Derek for any of your graphicdesign, presentation design, and PowerPoint needs! He did a fabulous job on my project. He was very punctual and responsive and nailed the design on the first try from just an email description of what I needed. Great value. Definitely use him!

I couldn't choose all 5. If I could I would. Derek is awesome to work with. He has passion about his work and what he puts into his work and that's what I always look for when conducting business with someone. He helped me and my team out with our background picture for our landing page and we got what we were looking for. We kept open communication at all times which is something you should look for. His work, no no is art, is beautiful. Work with derek ladies and gents. We will be conducting business with him moving fowarded for sure. I couldn't ask for a better designer. My company are happy with the results. Derek is great and you all should work with him! Derek if you are reading this, keep it up. You'll be what designer's aspire to be. Thank's for your help. Look forwarded to working with you in the future.

Derek was extremely professional and creative in all his meetings and in presenting solutions to our team. We were very impressed with his grasp of our needs, especially since he had no prior experience working in our sector. He was able to listen to our project, follow the logic of what we wanted to present, and provide excellent feedback - all this before he even designed a thing. Once he got to the designing aspect, he was creative, flexible and both willing and able to change directions as needed.
Derek's work is a great example of the designer understanding that his creative process and output has to meet clear objectives for our business, and not just look good. This resulted in an finished product that was visually impactful (yes, it did look good!) while also clearly communicating the main idea and objectives of our company. Thank you, Derek, for a job well done!
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I like to offer a flat rate up front which is based off an assumption of the hours it will take to complete a project. This is an estimate I will detail for you to review and accept.
If I personally work over those hours, then that is on me. I include a round of revisions in our original estimated flat rate.
After the first round of revisions, then I will start charging hourly for the following rounds of revisions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The goal of my process is to familiarize myself with your needs, what you're hoping to achieve from the design work, and most importantly the story of your business or project.
I interview and question my client's to make sure we are on the same understanding, then I will complete a first round to present. From there we will discuss what is and is not working. We won't be finished until you're fully happy with the work!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelor's Degree in Digital Arts & Design (2014)
