FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been an artist. As a child, I made playsets out of shoeboxes for my younger sister to play with her numerous figurines. As I got older I gravitated toward graphic design on the computer and dabbled in computer programming in college. Graphic and web design are the perfect mesh of creativity and continual learning. My degree is in interior design, but I prefer the more immediate results I get from creating on screen and seeing the output on paper.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most common types of jobs I do currently are logo, graphic and web design. I would say those are in high demand at the moment. Two common requests are for a quick turnaround and strong visual impact. My job is to bring the client's vision to fruition within budget and before the deadline. A successful design is one that looks just as good on screen as it does on paper and other media. It delights the client and draws the audience the client is after. No two jobs are the same. The challenge of the preliminary layout work is just as rewarding as the end product. With each new project I am able learn more about my clients' various industries.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Be as detailed and clear as possible about what your vision is for the project. It's the only way to ensure nothing gets lost in translation. My most important goals are for the project to reflect you, what you want, and deliver it in a timely and professional manner.
