At the core of my design philosophy lies a commitment to exploration and problem-solving. Before any visual elements take shape, I invest significant effort in understanding the project's goals, target audience, and purpose. I challenge assumptions, redefine problems, and craft innovative solutions that are prototyped and tested. Design is primarily a communication tool, with visuals being just one aspect. Identifying users and their goals is the critical groundwork that sets the foundation for successful outcomes.
I offer comprehensive end-to-end creative services, from conceptualization to the development of a unique identity, design, and build of your project. I'm also available to provide ongoing support for your post-launch marketing efforts. From website design to crafting templates for streamlined marketing materials and producing podcast series or influencer events to creating custom content, photography, and developing effective marketing strategies tailored to your goals, I'm here to ensure your project's success at every stage of the journey.
For design, art direction or podcasting projects, I use a flexible pricing model - day rates, weekly rates, or per-project fees instead of hourly billing. If you're interested in a partnership focused on long-term success beyond one-off projects, a retainer agreement could be the perfect solution. I offer special rates for non-profits.
Most of my projects typically span 2 to 12 weeks, and the cost varies based on factors like complexity and scope. I believe in tailoring solutions to fit your budget and needs, ensuring each project is a unique, successful collaboration. Most projects tend to range from $14k-90k depending on the specifics.
Want to dive into your current website or project to identify any issues or areas for improvement? I'm also available for consultations. During these sessions, I can provide valuable tips, ideas, and potential solutions that you can implement. I charge an hourly rate for consulting calls.
