What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I have a Brand Questionnaire form I email once we have decided that we are a good fit for each other. For singular projects I have a short Project Brief.
When deciding between my branding suites, the number one question to ask yourself, is are you looking to build a side hustle or are you looking to build a generational brand? If you're somewhere in between, there's an option for that also.
Describe your creative process.
All of my suites, including web design, are based on a 3 phase process. The term of each process depends on the scope of work.
Phase 1 | Strategy
Phase 2 | Design
Phase 3 | Launch
Which can also be viewed more in depth on my website.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
I need to know if you already have a logo or if you already have a brand.
How to identify whether or not you have a Brand:
Logo + Variations
Color Palette (including hex codes)
Minimum of 3 Primary Fonts
Brand Specific Visual Imagery
Brand Core (Purpose, Vision, Mission, Terminology, Voice)
If you do not have all of these listed, you do not have a brand, you have a logo only. Which is fine, this question simply determines the proper suite you may need depending on your suggested scope of work.
What do you love most about your job?
Truly, I love being able to develop brands that will last for generations. It's huge for me to have a hand in helping others secure their brand for their business because I want everyone to literally live their dreams. That is the meaning behind "Day Dream" Design Firm. Being able to show people how far they really can go with developing a strong brand could not only impact their future, but possibly the futures of their loved ones and many others they service.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Ah! Interesting question, I grew up in a very small church, the church used to have a daycare and school that I graduated from. In High School, I noticed the need for Marketing (Branding) to draw in membership and families but I couldn't do anything about it at that time. I was determined to go to College for Graphic Design, combining my love for technology and art, to be able to help other churches like mine who simply couldn't afford Marketing. (Fun Fact: I graduated HS in 2011; I am currently working on full brand development for my home church)
Why should our clients choose you?
Simply put, I care about the success of others. I believe there's room at the table for everyone to eat. Not to mention, I'm actually really great at Graphic Design. ?
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Both, I conduct my Conference Calls and Discovery Calls virtually at no cost. When I host meetings throughout the processes we also speak face-to-face virtually. Each client receives their own Client Account in our software portal to track the status of each project.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
If I do happen to meet with a client locally (based in Arkansas) I do wear a mask and of course, sanitize properly.
