Frequently Asked Questions

Availability varies by workload. My calendar typically books out one month in advance. Each project has a different timeline, so you can expect your project to launch anywhere between 3 and 6 months from your start date. Need something right away? Let's chat about VIP Design Day.

While branding and websites are my ultimate LOVE, I also offer VIP Design Days. Whether it's collateral pieces, digital marketing, templated designs, or SEO, I love helping my clients resonate with their customers better with communications of all types.

I have removed this service from my list of offerings. My strengths are geared more toward creating full packages versus providing one-off postcards, posters, social media graphics, etc. However, if these project pieces need to be included in branding packages I'd be happy to include them with the proposal or we could discuss VIP Design Day opportunities.

Of course! My packages are always customizable and are typically altered for a client who has specific pieces in mind to add to an existing package.

My services are officially booked after we've done the following things...

  • You filled out the contact form
  • We chatted about your needs
  • I've sent you a proposal
  • You've signed the contract 
  • You've secured your booking with the first payment

You may have noticed that brand elevations are included in the Branding and Deluxe Suite packages. Brand elevations are simply "add-on" pieces that are included with the package that will be delivered to you once the brand is launched. There are a specific number of Brand Elevations available per package. The selections could be printed and designed stickers, notecards, social media templates, email templates and more. 

Yes! If a customer has a very specific idea of what they are looking for, I would love to take a look and see if we are a good fit to work up a completely customized package. This will depend highly on my availability at the time of inquiry.

Marketing, advertising, and digital ads are sister fields to branding. A brand is the base for any of those fields. I provide the branding tools, assets, and resources to use in this arena, but marketing plan creation, content calendars, etc., are not my sweet spot. I do have some amazing referrals to point you in the right direction, however!

Yes! I create websites for Iowa's retail shops/boutiques and local service-based small business websites.
