Hired on Thumbtack

Mike was excellent to work with. He was very responsive and communicated from beginning to end. This was the first time I used Thumbtack for a project and it was a great experience. I would definitely use Mike again for any future projects. He was reasonably priced, called me on the phone to ensure he had the correct instructions, followed up with messages, and was phenomenal. His work was done quickly and arrived when he told me it would arrive. If I could give Mike 10 stars, I would!!

Stunning work!! I absolutely loved our beautiful invitations and envelopes. They will be a real keepsakes, and I was so pleased with the final outcome. He really worked hard at making sure everything was perfect, sending multiple samples, letting me pick the ink color, and fixing a few issues after we picked them up.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is competitive,but flexible to work within a budget, and can accommodate services to meet the client’s requests. Pricing can vary depending on what the project entails. Envelopes and place cards have fixed pricing. Custom work would be a direct quote.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Process includes getting to know what the customer wants and how I can accommodate their needs and establishing a time line to complete projects.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m self taught and have over 20 years experience. I learn and grow with each project and practice my craft as often as I can. I’m also inspired by other calligraphers as well, and the creative process that follows.
