Collaborative Design Process
With a collaborative effort, we can help bring your vision to life.
Contact Me
Get started by contacting me via email, phone, or text. Share some information about your business and what you need. I’ll promptly provide you with a free quote and estimated timeline. Feel free to ask any questions or express any concerns about your project—I’m here to help. Once we finalize the project details and agree on everything, I’ll request a deposit to begin. For projects over $500, a 50% down payment is required, while projects under $500 require full payment upfront.
Research + Creative Direction
You’ll receive a questionnaire to provide your business details and goals. As a UX Researcher and Graphic Designer, I analyze successful designs and industry trends relevant to your company. My focus is on creating timeless branding. To establish a clear design direction, I create a brand board on Pinterest where we can collaborate. You’re welcome to share your favorite inspirations by hearting and re-pinning. Together, we’ll work on the look and feel of your logo, ensuring a well-defined design path.
Design + Creation
I develop design concepts based on our discussions and research. I continuously refine and enhance the design based on your feedback and change requests. The final design(s) will be delivered in the appropriate format, whether it’s a print-ready file for publication or a JPEG for website use. Throughout the creation process, I ensure that production specifications are taken into account.
I Deliver. You Celebrate.
After you approve the design(s), I will send you the completed files. If you have a logo design, it can be used across your branding, marketing materials, print items, website, and more. You will receive the original Vector, Illustrator, and EPS files for the logo, which can be scaled to any size, ensuring quality in both large and small formats.
5 PHASE WEBSITE PROCESS

Discovery Process
Prioritizing communication with my clients is essential. In our initial meeting, I’ll ask you important questions. These questions aim to understand your company’s style preferences and, more importantly, to grasp the message your website should convey to your past, present, and future clients.
Strategic Analysis & Planning // Explore Design Approach
After our initial meeting, I carefully review all the gathered content. I conduct thorough research on current web design trends, your target market, and competitors. Once I have all the necessary information, I start planning the website’s architecture. I analyze any unique requirements and incorporate best practices to ensure a consistent and logical flow in the design. This planning phase is crucial as it maps out the usability and design goals of the website. Once the direction is finalized, I proceed with the design process.
Finalize & Present Designs
I will create a unique design approach for your new website, including desktop and mobile layouts. I prioritize designing the most important pages, as they will serve as the foundation for other content, media, navigation, and additional pages. Throughout the collaborative web design process, I value your feedback to refine the final design. This iterative approach allows us to gather feedback and make improvements that align with your needs. As an expert, I also provide guidance if any requested elements may not be beneficial for the project or your business. You will have one round of requested changes, and I will seek your approval once the website design is finalized.
Development & Implementation
This is the exciting phase where everything comes together and the real magic happens. I start building the website on your hosting account, incorporating all the provided content. The site will be based on the approved design layout(s) from Phase 3. During this phase, I implement all the planned functionalities discussed in Phase 1, the discovery phase. The website will be coded to ensure compatibility with various devices and browsers, including desktops, laptops, tablets, Android, and Apple iPhones. Once the development meets my standards, I thoroughly test the website across major web browsers. I will then send you the development link for your review.
Final Revisions, Training & Launch
If you have any desired changes to the site, this is the perfect time to address them. I will re-test the site and make necessary adjustments. To ensure you feel confident in using your new site, I offer a 30-minute to 1-hour training session either in person or via Zoom. During this session, I will guide you step-by-step on how to use and maintain your website on your own. If you require ongoing website maintenance, we can set up this service as well. Once the site is approved, it will be made live for the world to see!
