FAQs
Why should I invest in my logo or branding, when I've seen cheaper designs on sites like Fiverr?
Websites like Fiverr do offer very inexpensive (cheap) logos. I caution anyone who is serious about building a reputable business from using these websites. Often their logos are created from publicly used clipart. This means your logo will likely have the exact same imagery as other companies. Though a cheaper option can seem enticing for a new business, this can cost you much more to rebrand down the line.
We've all heard the phrase, "you get what you pay for", and this rings true in the field of graphic design. Your brand identity, logo, advertisement, etc. is the visual face of your business to potential customers. Business prospects formulate opinions of your company based on these first impressions. Your logo will be the most visible component of your brand. People will see it on your website, signage, brochures, packaging, social media and more. Your logo is always speaking for your company, I want to make sure it's saying the right things.

How can I be sure I'll like what you design?
Once you decide to work with me, we'll determine your goals through a client questionnaire I will provide to you. These questions will help us examine the style and energy you are looking for. Since you're involved in the process from the beginning, and we check in along the way, you can be confident your brand & identity will be a success.

Why do you want to know about the available budget upfront?
I understand that finances can be tight whether you're launching a new business, or a new product in an existing company. When we have the discussion about what materials you need, and your budget, I can recommend which projects to focus on first if there are financial constraints. Additionally, I can provide package options to find the solution that best fits your needs.

We're not in the same city, or state, can we still work together?
Of course! Many of my clients are in another state, and I am very comfortable managing those projects. I will email you design proofs, and we can chat through progress on the phone or Skype if you prefer.

How long will it take to complete my new branding or design project?
Depending on your needs, the time required to complete your project will be determined. When we first start talking about working together, I will send you a proposal that outlines the timeline so you have all the information upfront before signing on the dotted line.

Can you manage the printing of my project?
Absolutely. Some clients have trusted vendors they've already established relationships with, and simply need the print-ready files. If needed, I can manage the entire printing process for you, recommend vendors, obtain print quotes, and see your project through to completion.

How will I know which logo files to use for print or on my website?
At the close of the project, I will provide your final logo design in a variety of color profiles and file types. These will cover every application you may need including web, print, and even large-scale printing for signs. Along with these files, I will give you a "cheat sheet" outlining which files to use when. You can also contact me any time if you have further questions.
