Describe your creative process.
Graphic Design is not just about making something that looks great. It should be outcomes driven.
As the client, what do you want to achieve from this? Therefore it's important for us to get to know our clients. What they do, who their target audience is, what makes them different etc. Extracting as much information as possible before we begin is our MO. We want to build longstanding relationships and help grow businesses and brands.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
It's dependent on the job at hand. But ultimately the more information we have the better job we can do of delivering effective branding.
What do you love most about your job?
I'm fascinated by business and brands. In my career as a designer I get to learn about new businesses all the time and I love the challenge of taking what I have learned and using that to produce something that will contribute to the growth of that business.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I liked to idea of being in charge of my own destiny.
Running my own company I get the satisfaction of helping others grow their business while growing mine at the same time.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am a brand nerd.
I have over 15 years experience, 10+ of which I have been running my own business.
I believe in clean, effective design with a purpose and I am a professional.
I have experience in and a deep understanding of printing processes.
I am also a bit of a perfectionist so attention to detail is of utmost importance to me.
