My Design Process
Step 1: Discovery
During this stage, you’ll tell me about your design project, your goals for the piece, and how it will be used, such as marketing, an event, or general information. I’ll ask questions to learn about your organization and your audience so the finished design can speak to the right people. We’ll also review your brand guidelines and your existing materials. I’ll then summarize the information we’ve discussed and share it with you to make sure we’re aligned on the project’s scope and objectives.
Step 2: Scheduling
Next I’ll create a project schedule based on your desired delivery date. It will outline when I’ll need content like text and images, when you can expect to receive proofs for your review, and when the final files will be delivered. This helps keep the project on track and ensures each step is clear and well-timed.
Step 3: Design & Layout
Once the schedule is agreed upon, I’ll begin designing your piece. Depending on the size, scope and schedule of your project, the design phase may take anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
Step 4: Review & Revise
I’ll provide a pdf of the design for your feedback, then revise it based on your input. You can share your thoughts with me in person, by phone, or leave comments in the pdf. This back-and-forth process usually takes two or three rounds.
Step 4: File Delivery
Electronic files of the final approved design will be delivered in the appropriate file format (pdf, jpg, eps, etc.) and in the correct color space (RGB, HEX, or CMYK). Depending on their size, the files are either emailed to you or uploaded to Dropbox, where you can download them at your convenience.
FAQs
Here are answers to some of the questions clients often ask.
-
Bringing over 20 years of design experience from the Seattle area, I’m now based in Port Angeles, WA. PDFs and online tools allow me to collaborate remotely with clients on the Olympic Peninsula, throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains.
-
I work with nonprofit organizations across a wide range of causes—from food insecurity and homelessness, to animal welfare and the arts. I have also worked with small businesses in fields as varied as gardening, photography, wellness and wine tasting.

Design services are billed hourly, while logo design is billed on a per-project basis.
-
Design services are billed at $80 per hour. Services include discovery, design and layout, image editing and retouching, proofing and revisions, and creation and delivery of final electronic files.
Logo design is billed as a flat project fee of $3,200. This includes three logo concepts, two revisions to your chosen logo, and delivery of final electronic files.
Additional brand assets—such as business cards, letterhead, logo guidelines, and related materials—can be added for an additional fee at the rate of $80 per hour.
For established clients, an invoice will be emailed at the completion of the project. For new clients, payment is due before delivery of the final electronic files.
I accept checks, Pay A Person, Zelle, or direct deposit through online services such as Bill and Bill Pay.
-
No, I don’t usually require a contract. When the project details are finalized, I’ll provide a written scope of work to ensure everyone has a clear understanding of what’s included. If the scope later expands, I’ll share an estimate for any additional work.
-
No, you won’t own the rights. I retain copyright of the design and ownership of raw or native working files (e.g., layered InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator files). By industry standard, you’ll have usage rights of the final delivered electronic file so that you can print or otherwise display it, but you will not be able to edit or sell the underlying design.
-
No, I don’t — I work exclusively with the professional applications in Adobe Creative Cloud, including InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. (Publisher and Canva don’t offer the precise control or advanced editing features needed for high-resolution, complex, or print-ready designs.)
-
Yes, I will happily supply references!
