Next Steps


1. Homework: Please fill out my questionnaire so we can collect your thoughts and I can gain insight into your business and vision.

2. Discovery Call/Zoom Meeting: Schedule a meeting to discuss your brand vision, project scope and overall goals.

3. Proposal, Contract and Down Deposit: Once I understand the overall scope of your project, I will provide you with a proposal outlining the project details, when accepted you’ll be required to pay a 50% down deposit. I will then send over a simple contract to sign and we will schedule your project in our calendar!

4. Kick Off Call/Zoom: When it's time to start your project, we'll schedule a meeting to revisit the details, answer any last-minute questions you may have, address any remaining questions on our end, and then get started!
