1. Getting to know your project

We’ll discuss your ideas and wishes. No need to have everything figured out. I’ll help you shape your story and guide you through the process.

Quote & Planning

You’ll receive a clear quote tailored to your needs and budget. Once approved, I’ll schedule the project and start working on the first sketches.

3. Sketch Phase

I’ll create initial designs and send them your way. With one or more feedback rounds, we’ll refine the illustration together. Your input is essential.

4. Refining & Coloring

I’ll carefully develop and color the illustration. I’ll make sure it fits your brand style, audience, and any technical requirements (e.g. print or web use).
