How do you set your pricing?

I usually charge a flat fee for all projects, sent as a quote during the “Proposal” phase of your project. The flat fee is based on an $85/hour rate, and is generated based on how long I estimate a project will take. The flat fee gives you the comfort of knowing exactly what you’ll pay. I do occasionally have clients  who prefer to be billed hourly – if you prefer an hourly rate, let me know!

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! My goal is to make projects as affordable for you as possible (while still being compensated for my time, and without sacrificing a high quality product). If it feels hard to pay the full project cost in one lump sum, I’m happy to discuss flexible, interest-free payment plans in which your fee is broken into pieces. The only exception to this is initial project deposits, which must be paid in full.

Do you charge a fee for rush jobs?

I do charge an additional fee for projects which need to be finished in a very short window of time. This fee is discussed before we start your project, and will be clearly laid out in the “Proposal” phase of your project, so there are no surprises!

What does your process look like?

My process varies slightly from project to project, as I gauge what makes sense based on your needs. However, the general process is as follows: once you reach out about a project, we’ll schedule an initial meeting, and I’ll usually have you fill out a form so I can gather info on your needs and on your business. The form helps us make the most of our initial meeting time, where I get a more in-depth understanding of your business and your design needs.

After the initial meeting I send you a proposal and quote. You have the opportunity to request modifications to the proposal if you’d like. Once you’re happy with the proposal, I move onto the actual design!

Design process varies depending on the kind of project you’re hiring me for. (For example, the process for a website is different than the process for a logo; and the process for a logo is different than the process for a business card design). I include a project-specific timeline in your proposal.

Once you finish my design, does it belong to me?

Generally after you have made the final payment on your project, you own the designs and are free to use or modify them as you wish. However, I retain the right to use the designs in my portfolio, unless otherwise agreed upon.
