Answers to common questions about my process, services, and how I work.
I work with startups, established brands, creative teams, charities, universities and any business who value clarity, purpose, and thoughtful design. Whether you're launching something new or refining an existing presence, I adapt my approach to your needs.
The core services include reporting design (so annual reports, impact reports, Magazines), art direction, book design and layout, presentation design and strategy. I often work across multiple touchpoints to ensure consistency and cohesion in everything we create together.
I price based on scope, timeline, and deliverables. Never by the hour. It depends on the project as it could make more sense to estimate on a day rate, or if for a book interior, we could agree a per page cost. After an initial call, I can provide a custom proposal aligned with your goals and budget.
Timelines vary by project, but most reporting projects take 3–9 weeks, while presentation projects can range from 1–2 weeks. We’ll always agree on key milestones before starting.
Absolutely. Most of my work is done remotely, and I’ve partnered successfully with clients across time zones. Clear communication and structured check-ins keep everything on track.
We typically take on full-scope projects to ensure cohesion and quality. However, if you have a smaller need that aligns with my approach, I'd be open to discussing it.
Our process is collaborative and structured. Rather than presenting dozens of options, we focus on one strong direction – refined through feedback. The number of revisions depends on the scope, but clarity and alignment are our priority from the start.
