Ready to hire a designer?

Readiness Check List

  • You are busy, and there is only so much time in the day. Hiring a graphic designer allows you to pass on the work to a professional.

    I will take the heavy burden off of you, work to understand your business, and bring design and visual marketing expertise to the table.

  • You want your marketing to be recognizable and noticed. Many staff members may be designing marketing pieces or maybe it's all on you right now! You have no brand guidelines to follow and everything seems visually disjointed.

    I can help create the visual consistency you're searching for. Perhaps this means you go through a total rebrand OR start working more strategically within the existing brand to create this consistency.

  • You have the money to make more money and you want to make sure spending it is worth the investment.

    It is most definitely worth it, you just need to find a designer that fits your business. Dive in and do your research, find out different designers’ processes, and look at their portfolios. When you see a portfolio that includes work that you like and fits with your brand, you know they are the right fit.

    Take note of the industry saying “ You can only pick two out of the three, quick, cheap, or quality.”

  • Your business is your vision. You are prepared with great marketing ideas, have been researching examples, and are ready to bring someone with new ideas to the table while keeping your vision in mind.

    I will collaborate with you and help see your vision through. You know your business best, and it is up to you to communicate your ideas in the beginning. A designer's job is to take that vision and guide you through the design process, giving suggestions and sharing ideas, all based on their professional opinion and expertise. If you're working with a good designer who is the right fit for you, the two of you will be working as a team.

  • This is an investment, and you should be overseeing the process. Your business’s reputation will be tied to your branding, so it is important you have time to provide quality feedback and content for your designer to do the job.

    Take note of your schedule and let your designer know of any time conflicts that may arise during the project.
