My Design Process

A step by step of what it looks like to work with me.

DISCUSS YOUR PROJECT

We'll go over what problem the design is trying to solve for your business. Create mood boards together. Thus, determining the overall look & feel of the project.

Get the ideas on paper

Based off our initial conversation, I will draft up some initial designs.

MAKE SURE WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK

We'll review the first drafts of the project. Make sure the right direction is being taken. Taking the in the comments and criticism into consideration, I will continue on with the project.

Getting the project to a final state

I will get the project to a state near completion before a final review and the finishing touches.

Final Critic of the project

I will present the project to you, explaining the full direction I took with the design and why. Discussing what parts of the design are reaching the goal of the projectt. Listening for your final concerns, comments, & suggestions.

Adding the finishing touches

I will take your final thoughts and translate them into the design. Finally, I will export the project into its desired formats whether it's digital or print.

I deliver YOUR PROJECT

Based on our previous discussions, I will deliver the project to you in the way the best fits the needs of the project.
