FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I can work within almost any budget and can do an hourly or fixed project fee. All costs are determined upfront and if client changes exceed the time/budget then I always advise my client how much they have left in their budget before they use it all up.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First order of business is to have a conversation about what you have in mind (pictures of what you have in mind are always a great way to save time before starting design) as well as what you have done in the past that you liked/worked well in addition to things you tried that didn't work. I like to discuss the goals and audience of the particular piece I'll be designing in addition to any brand guidelines/color/fonts I should be using... if they exist for your brand/company. Don't worry if you don't have the answers. I can help you find them!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received my BS in Advertising and Design from the University of Texas, Austin. Upon graduation, I moved to NYC to work for McCann-Erickson (one of the largest international Advertising Agencies). For the next 10 years I spent time on continuing education and advancing my career across all types of business categories. Since then I have been hire as an independent contractor for companies like Mary Kay (complete redesign of training manual/process), The Kimbell Art Museum, Shell and many others.
