 1 | Getting Started

Start by connecting with me, or filling out my website inquiry form. This will give me the information I need to give you a quote for your project.

 2 | Estimate & Contract

After looking through your responses, I'll respond with an estimate for your project, and a contract for you to sign. If everything looks good to you, you'll sign the contract and pay a 50% retainer, securing your spot on my calendar!

 3 | Inspiration & Sketches

Your project timeline will let you know exactly when you can expect me to dive into the design. I'll start with a inspiration and concept phase, sending along a mood board and sketch(es) for the project, for you to review. This is your chance to give me feedback on the concept and design. I love collaborating with my clients/couples to fully understand their creative vision, so the more feedback you give in this stage, the better the end result!

 4 | Drawing, Painting & Design

Once the concept and overall vibe for your project is approved, it's time for me to execute the design. Yay! I'll provide digital proofs for you to review and give any remaining feedback. At this stage, I will be happy to make minor tweaks and changes that can be made digitally.

 5 | Print, Production & Assembly

Once you've approved the final proof and the separate print invoice is paid, I'll send the design(s) off to the printer. I'll also help with assembly and calligraphy at this point, if that’s part of your package.

 6 | You’ve Got Mail!

The moment you’ve been waiting for! Your project is packed and headed your way. Final design payment will be collected at this time.
