A graphic designer is a communicator of your idea, product, and solution to the world. With training as a visual communicator and problem solver, a designer will combine your content with visual elements of color, typography, line, space, shape and balance to create an unique, strategized project for your business or organization. ​ A designer will also handle all ‘mechanical requirements’. They prepare your files to the specifications of a printer, magazine, Web host, television studio or any other output medium to ensure trouble-free output of a final finished product (such as a printed flyer or a website).

As a very broad generalization, my design process follows the following steps: Once I receive your initial inquiries, I will send you my client questionnaire to submit your project desires to me. Within 48 hours, I will either be in touch to clarify your requirements or provide you with a basic price quote for your project. Once you have accepted the basic price quote, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to begin the project via gohopscotch.com; the invoice will be sent via email, & records will be kept under "documents & payments" on our shared notion portal. I will prepare your project timeline as I conduct more thorough creative research about you, your company/product/service and your design tastes and requirements. Paired with your creative input & answers from the client questionnaire, I will provide you with 2-3 mood boards + creative directions for your brand identity. This takes anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. You will provide comments on the design concepts, either approving a concept or requesting revisions. There is typically a series of revisions throughout the project as your comments and changes are integrated into a more refined vision. I allow time for adequate collection of information, market research, and design concepts. Once you have approved your basic brand guidelines, I will prepare the rest of your deliverables & prepare final files for handover. All packages receive two rounds of revisions--any additional changes will be charged to the final price of your project, upon agreement. This takes anywhere from 1-8 weeks. Final files are delivered to you upon retrieval of the full project payment. *Timeline is generalized and can be adjusted to match your schedule.

I will upload basic design concepts & progress check-ins onto our shared notion portal as attached PDF files. All files will be watermarked, and any designs presented are available for purchase. Depending on the type of project or design requirements, you should see initial design concepts anywhere from 2-5 business days. Upon concept selection + mood board approval, I will start the rest of the design process.

No problem at all! I am happy to consider your comments/revisions at any point throughout the project. For most all deliverables, I offer several options to choose from/combine; before any design work is done, I will clarify all questions necessary to properly capture your vision. All packages receive two rounds of revisions--any additional requests will be charged to the final price of your project, upon agreement. *Your artwork will be created in a vector format, so you can use any vector editing application (i.e. Adobe Illustrator) to open, change and edit your files as you please, post-contract.

I accept and prefer secure online payments using your credit card, debit card, or your bank account via gohopscotch.com; Opening an account is fast, easy, and FREE! *In some particular circumstances, you also may be able to make a barter arrangement, either for goods or services or a link exchange arrangement depending on the nature of your business (i.e. non-profit association).

Once your design is finished, I will handover your final files: via our shared notion portal under the "final deliverables" gallery, labeled ready-to-use *default option via email as an organized .zip file (compressed), depending on size. if necessary, I can save files onto a USB and deliver via regular post or courier *extra charges apply

I keep your designs in an active archive should you lose or damage your files or require follow-up work. After a 3 month period, any file retrieval/revision will result in an additional charge, separate from the original project price. If you have any unanswered questions about your files or need guidance on how to use something, I am always available for help. *I also offer FREE brand assets / revisions when presented with qualifying client referrals!

Once I start the design process, you can communicate with me: via our shared notion portal by commenting directly onto any post or attachment. *default option email: png.pixie.art@gmail.com sms: (760) 840-8910
