Terms of Service


Welcome to my Terms of Service page! I've outlined my process & how we'll work together during a project here, that way we can be on the same page!If you have any questions, you can always reach out at [email protected]!


Project Timeline


Designs should be delivered to you within 3–4 weeks.However, this can change depending on how complex your project is and how many changes or assets are requested.Below is a rough outline of the Project Timeline from Start to Finish:

  1. Consultation:
    Once your request has been accepted, I will schedule a meeting with you to discuss details about the project & to make sure I understand your vision.

  2. Preview:
    We'll send you a preview of the design for your feedback and approval. Once you're happy with the preview, we'll send an invoice for a 50% non-refundable down payment.

    Note: The down payment secures your spot and covers the time we spend on our initial consultation and creative process.

  3. Final:
    When the design is completed, I will send a proof for you to view along with the invoice for the remaining 50% of the Full Payment.

  4. Delivery:
    After we've received the last payment, we'll send you all the final, high-resolution files.


If you'd like an update regarding your request, you can reach out via [email protected].

A Few Important Things


  • Revisions:
    We'll include a set number of revisions in your project fee. If you need more changes than that, we'll discuss an additional cost.

  • Who owns what:
    Once you've paid in full, the final design is all yours. We do, however, reserve the right to show off the finished project in our portfolio and on social media to promote our work.

  • Your part:
    We'll need you to provide timely feedback and any materials we need from you. Delays on your end can affect the project timeline.
