Describe your creative process.
Good end results come from good communication.
If possible I always prefer to meet with clients and from this understand the their needs.
I do most of my roughs by hand before trying my ideas out digitally.
I am very capable with most hand made creative processes and can transfer these seemlessly to the computer.
I am also a confident and very capable digital artworker and can tailer the outcome to the client's needs
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
Quite a bit actually - the more the better. Good work comes from knowing the person and their business needs.
How old is the business? What is it's audience? Who are your competitors? - Thsese are standard starting points.
Why you do what you do is also important - and your overall business goals.
In regards to the actual job, whats the message you want to communicate, who to and by when?
Deadlines and costings need to be established and from there I can provide an estimate.
What do you love most about your job?
I love design, being creative and solving problems.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My love of design and illustration stemmed from my natural strength in communication, a love of language and image making.
Why should our clients choose you?
There are a lot of people who think being able to use teh Adobe design programmes makes them a designer. It doesn't - design is more than just a technical service. You need to work closely and openly with a client to understand what they need, as this is sometimes different to what they want.
I've been doing this for a long time and can provide an experience based on confident proven work. I'm not a cowboy looking to make a quick sale.
