FAQ
How long does a project take?
Project length depends on the depth and scope. A logo and visual identity usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. A full brand identity with strategy, design, and messaging takes about 6 to 12 weeks. Larger or more involved projects can extend beyond that.
I’m also available for ongoing support as a long-term branding partner.
What do I get at the end of the project?
You’ll receive all final documents, print-ready source files, web-ready image files, and any additional assets needed to launch your brand.
Everything will be neatly organized in a Google Drive folder or emailed to you as a zip file.
How much do you charge?
Every project is unique, but a full visual identity package typically starts around $10k.
This covers everything needed to build a cohesive, professional brand that’s ready to grow:
-
1-on-1 strategy sessions
-
Main logo design and variations
-
Colour palette and typography
-
Brand pattern and visual elements
-
Ad creative and social media banners
-
Brand guidelines and mockups
Smaller identity packages are available for earlier-stage founders who just need the essentials.
I also offer long-term support and creative direction to guide your brand’s evolution over time.
How do you ensure the brand reflects my vision?
I dig deep into your business to unvocer who it’s for, what makes it unique, and where it’s headed. Then I shape a strategy that fits your vision and business goals.
My process is collaborative with regular check-ins, so we can stay aligned every step of the way. This ensures the final result feels 100% yours.
Will you help me implement my new brand across platforms?
You bet! I offer regular guidance on implementing your new identity, to make sure it stays consistent across your website, social media, and all marketing materials.
