FAQs
General Info
Do you provide editable source files?
Yep! Some designers charge extra for those, but I don’t. You can have the native source files for all of your final pieces.
Can you manage the printing of my project?
Unfortunately, I won't be able to manage a print job for you. I can give you recommendations for printers that I've worked with in the past. Once you establish a relationship with a printing company you like, you can turn to them for all your printing needs.
Do you only work with startups and new companies or can you help older, more established businesses as well?
I work with new companies as well as more established brands By conducting a brand audit, I can develop a full understanding of the client's current brand identity, its strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement.
How can I be sure I’ll like what you design?
A branding project involves a lot of information gathering: we’ll discuss your business goals, history, audience, competitors, brand personality, and more. This sets parameters that guide the design. Since you’re helping to set those parameters yourself, you can be confident your brand identity will be just right.
What if you haven’t done any work in my industry before?
I get it. If you’re a law firm, hiring a designer specializing in law firms can feel less risky. But design principles don’t change from industry to industry, and drawing from broader experience is actually a bonus since clichés in one industry can be fresh ideas in another. I always start by looking at your competitors and related organizations to learn what the conventions are in your field. Then we take into account how much you should fit in or stand out, and design accordingly. A strong designer can work in any industry.
We need our website developed, too. Can you help?
Web design and development is a specialty in itself, so I no longer take on web development projects. I recommend clients hire a dedicated individual or firm for this. The firm can build your website using the web design I provide for your company so you know that your brand identity will also be consistent on your website.
Do you do copywriting?
I help with company or product naming, taglines, mission statements, or other short messaging for your brand. But when it comes to lengthy copy for brochures, presentations, or websites, that’s not a service I provide. You can hire a copywriter for this. If needed, I can provide recommendations.
What about brand photography?
I don't do brand photography. I will provide you with stock images that are consistent with your brand identity. Some clients prefer branded photography included in their designs. If that is something you are interested in, I recommend hiring a photographer and providing me with the images to use in your identity. This is something we will need to discuss as the images will need to be provided at a specific point in the design process.
We already have our brand identity established. Can we hire you for a smaller project like a postcard or a single ad?
Absolutely. There is an a la carte pricing guide to help you with all your smaller project needs.
