My approach to design is grounded in research and collaboration.

FAQs
Here are answers to the most received questions. If you're wondering about something else, just reach out!
What services do you offer?
We offer Branding & Strategy and Visual Creative services—covering brand identity, strategy, messaging, logo design, and visual content to help you build a strong, cohesive brand.
What kind of companies do you usually work with?
I've collaborated with teams of all sizes—from solo founders and small startups to enterprise groups with 30+ stakeholders. For me, it’s never about the size of the company—it’s about the clarity of the project and the impact of the design.
Do you offer free consultations?
Yes, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your project, goals, and how we can work together. It's a great way to see if we're a good fit before moving forward.
What do you need from me to get started?
To get started, I’ll need a brief overview of your project, your goals, any existing brand materials (if available), and your timeline. From there, we can clarify the scope and outline the next steps together.
How does the design process work?
The process begins with a discovery phase to understand your goals and audience. From there, I develop concepts and directions, share them with you for feedback, and refine until we have a final result you're happy with. It's a collaborative and streamlined approach designed to deliver clear, effective outcomes.
How long does a branding project take?
Timelines can vary, but most branding projects typically take 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the scope, feedback rounds, and deliverables. I’ll provide a detailed timeline once we define the project.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on the scope, timeline, and specific needs of your project. I offer flexible options to fit different budgets. Feel free to get in touch with your project details, and I’ll be happy to provide a personalized quote.
Do you offer ongoing support after the project ends?
Yes, I offer ongoing support and maintenance options after the project is completed. Whether you need occasional updates, design tweaks, or long-term collaboration, I’m happy to discuss a support plan that fits your needs.
