STEP 1

Research + planning

Once you’ve shared your illustration goals with me and are ready to hit the ground running, I’ll curate some dreamy color palettes and style boards to help set the perfect tone for your project. We’ll sift through all the inspiring choices, and nail down the one that speaks best to your aesthetic.

STEP 2

Design development

I’ll dive straight in and start developing sketches to give us a basic framework. We’ll keep them loose and brainstormy, so we can easily make any adjustments. Think of the design development (or sketch phase) like drafting a blue print for your house. We need to spend time creating this foundation to make sure we get things right, so we have fewer changes later on. This will save us time and you money. Rest assured, you will get plenty of progress photos along the way.

STEP 3

Implementation + production

At this point, I am wrapping up your illustrations and making any remaining tweaks to the final artwork. Depending on your scope of work, I will provide you with digital files, products, or original art. I will make sure you are 110% satisfied with your custom artwork. Nothing excites me more than delivering that final artwork and hearing you say, “Ahh! I’m so glad I did this!”
