Along with your contract and invoice, I will send you a brand questionnaire and share a Pinterest board with you. This is where you can add any brand inspiration you may have and tell me more about your audience, brand goals, etc. Using your inspiration and questionnaire combined with my research and brand expertise, I will create a concise brand strategy along with 2-3 mood boards. The mood boards will include options for specific logo styles, color palettes and branding element styles.
Once the brand strategy and mood board is set in place, I will begin on design. Keeping the project goals in mind, I’ll develop a concept that I feel is the best solution for your brand and audience. This will be a detailed look into your brand identity and will go over each element and the thought behind the design. We’ll then collaboratively work back and forth to finalize the concept. If your project involves packaging or website design, those portions will take place after the branding is approved.
Once everything is finalized, you will have everything you need to launch your beautiful new brand to the world. This will include your final files in several formats and a brand style guide. The style guide will cover your logo, color palette, font pairing recommendations, brand rationale, and other branding assets. It will set a nice foundation for your brand and will be a helpful resource as your business continues to grow! I’m also happy to discuss continuing our collaboration through design intensive sessions.
Because each project is unique, all of my packages are custom based on your individual business goals and needs. Every project begins with a detailed brand questionnaire and Pinterest board collaboration. From there, I will put together a brand strategy and mood board presentation. Your visual brand identity items will include a primary logo, logo variations, color palette, font system, style guide and final files in several formats. Additional branding elements may include custom illustrations or patterns, stationery, packaging, a website, design templates, social media art, multi-page guides or lookbooks, and more.
I work with clients as soon as there is a spot in the schedule. I take on a limited number of new clients per month to ensure that each project gets the attention it deserves, so the sooner you book, the better! Branding projects typically take 4-16 weeks depending on the deliverables, but I will provide a more accurate timeline when we discuss your project.
Branding is an extremely important aspect of your business and it's an investment that I always want to make worthwhile. Since every project is unique, I typically like to ask some questions about your specific business goals and needs first. Then we will discuss a couple different package and pricing options.
Yes! Typically, project costs are broken into 2 or 3 even payments, but I’m happy to adjust or extend the payment schedule if needed. To hold your spot, the first payment must be made along with a signed contract. Your final files will be delivered and your website will be launched once the final payment is made.
A design intensive is a smaller scale project with a shorter timeline. While I love partnering with brands on larger scale projects, I undertand that you may need something quickly to get your business started. A design intensive typically lasts 1-3 weeks and allows you to confidently launch your brand. Design Intensives are also available for new or current clients who need additional design support.
Once your branding project is complete, I would be happy to discuss continuing our collaboration through additional design intensives.
After your initial inquiry, I may ask you some questions regarding your brand or schedule a call to learn more about your business. You can also ask me any questions to make sure we’re a good fit! Once I know your needs and goals for the project, we can discuss which design services will work best for you. If you’re ready to book your project, I will send you a design contract and invoice. Once the first payment is received and the contract is signed, you will be put into my design schedule.
