Working Together

Oh, how I love order, organization and happy outcomes.

Because of this, I work hard to ensure comfort and clarity at every step. Here’s what working together looks like:

Step 1 - Schedule a Consultation

First, we schedule a free 30-minute consultation to determine a mutual fit.

Step 2 - Proposal and Contract

If we are in simpatico, I'll prepare a proposal (complete with goals, deliverables, cost and timelines) for your review. When approved, I'll send over the contract.

Step 3 - Review Goals

After the contract is signed and deposit paid, we'll schedule a kick-off meeting to review the goals for the project and answer any questions you may have.

Step 4 - Stay Organized

I'll setup and share the project in Asana (or we'll work in your organization’s preferred project management software) to get a clear view of who’s doing what, and when.

Step 5 - Design and Refine

I'll get started on designs and we'll work together to refine the piece until you’re ready to give your stamp of approval.

Step 6 - Approve and Celebrate

You love it, approve it, and we celebrate! (And get started planning your next project!)
