A clear, collaborative, strategy-first process

This is not a quick logo or surface-level design process. Every project begins with strategy, clarity, and alignment—so your brand communicates the right message, attracts the right clients, and supports your long-term goals.

From project onboarding to design, these are the most effective processes I've developed over time for creating my best work.

Design Process

Discovery & Strategy

We define your goals, audience, positioning, and direction.

Upon receiving a completed brand questionnaire (utilizing a template provided) and a detailed moodboard, I begin the discovery and research phase.

At this stage, I dive into your brief and conduct thorough research on your industry and competition to enhance the design process.

Design Direction

Once research is complete, I'll leverage my knowledge to shape several design paths, highlighting logo variations, fonts, color schemes, and more. This visual roadmap will offer a glimpse into the possibilities for your brand.

I'll involve you and your team in the decision-making process.

Design Process

Armed with research and the chosen design direction, I begin the design development phase.

Here, I will brainstorm various concepts and choose the most impactful one that aligns perfectly with the design direction and brand vision.

Design Presentation

With the leading design, I will expand into a detailed presentation showcasing typography selection, color choice, imagery treatment, etc. shown in various industry-specific mockups to visualize how this design fits into your world.

I will then send this presentation to you to assist in the feedback process.

Refinement & Alignment

We refine with intention—every decision has a purpose.

Take a moment to reflect on the work and share your valuable feedback. This is your chance to suggest any changes, adjustments, or ideas for the next stage via email, ensuring clear communication.

I will tackle your feedback and based on the importance of the revisions, I may arrange another presentation to walk you through the modifications, or I will communicate via email with an adequate amount of commentary.

At this stage, we should be on the brink of finalizing if not already.

Delivery

Everything is now approved.

I will prepare all files and export them in the required formats for final delivery.

You receive a complete brand identity ready to be used with confidence.

Client—Project Process

Brand Project Application

I take on a limited number of branding projects to ensure each client receives a thoughtful, strategy-led experience, and that every project receives the depth and attention it deserves.

The brand project application helps determine whether we’re the right fit. Once reviewed and approved, I will send you an e-mail to schedule a 30-minute discovery call.

Discovery Call

Once your project application is approved (before agreeing and sending any deposits), we'll schedule a 30-minute phone call to go over the scope, deliverables, timelines and budget.

Project Proposal

After our call, I’ll send you a project proposal outlining deliverables, project schedule, and the agreed budget.

Upon approval, I'll send a brand discovery questionnaire and 50% deposit invoice. Once signed, paid, and filled out, the process begins.

Design Take-off

As soon as I have the 50% deposit and the filled questionnaire along with the moodboard, the project kicks off.

From there on, every step I take brings us closer to the ideal direction for your project.

Project Sign-off

Once the final design is approved, I'll send the final invoice.

Upon payment, all files and exports will be prepared and delivered in an organized folder system for real-world use.
