Simple. Reliable. Clear.
Establish your digital sovereignty with a premium visual identity and website built for the long game.
Get Started1. VISUAL IDENTITY PACKAGE
A visual identity package to represent your business or professional service to the world. Think: professional, credible, yours.
LOGO AND STYLE GUIDE
- Wordmark (typography) and/or pictorial mark (icon)
- Printable style guide included
- Two open-source fonts included
A style guide provides useful guidance on employing your visual identity system (logo, colors, fonts) in various contexts as business needs grow and change.
PRINT MATTER DESIGN
- Letterhead
- Envelope
- Business card
Print matter designs feature logo, physical address, phone number, website URL, and/or email address.
Deliverables are digital; client handles printing.
SINGLE-PAGE STATIC SITE
- One page, five sections
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript (no blog/CMS/server-side code)
- Client provides all copy and photography
A single-page site acts as a digital "brochure" for your business or service.
Instructions are provided, but domain and hosting are client's responsibility.
PRICE: $3,500. 50% nonrefundable deposit ($1,750).
ESTIMATED TURNAROUND: Eight weeks from start of work.
2. THE BENEFITS
COMMUNICATING LEGITIMACY AND CREDIBILITY
A professionally-designed, custom logo isn't about vanity, it's an investment.
It tells the world you're playing the long game and can be trusted.
A COHESIVE LOOK IS AN ANCHOR
A unifying look across physical and digital media lets the lead know they've left the intellectual commons and entered your proprietary space.
A HEDGE AGAINST PLATFORM DECAY
It seems as if legacy online channels (like social media) are getting worse everyday.
Your own website introduces data sovereignty to your business model.
3. HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Within a single business day of contacting me, I will email you an onboarding form (to be completed before work starts) to assess client tastes and needs.
ONBOARDING AND DEPOSIT
- Initial contact and onboarding form
- Design brief and contract sent to client to sign
- Work begins on payment of (nonrefundable) deposit
Within three business days of finishing my onboarding form, I will send you the contract, design brief, and instructions for payment of (nonrefundable) deposit.
DEVELOPMENT AND FEEDBACK
- Logo design (three phases, two rounds of feedback)
- Design of print matter and style guide
- Design of website (copy/images provided by client)
I like to give clients one week per phase of design for consideration and feedback.
The entire process generally takes eight weeks (but may vary slightly).
DELIVERABLES
- Logo: PDF, SVG, PNG
- Print matter: PDF
- Website: HTML, CSS, JavaScript
All files will be delivered in .ZIP format via email or other agreed-upon (digital) delivery method.
I do not provide deliverables via physical media.

For $500/month, I offer a monthly retainer package as an add-on for existing clients to help maintain their visual identity across various brand touchpoints.
SOCIAL MEDIA GRAPHICS

Each social media graphic will come with multiple versions that should work for all major platforms. Posting graphics is client's responsibility.
BROCHURES, PERIODICALS, ETC.

One "page" of content is equivalent to one side of a single 8.5 x 11" sheet of standard printing paper. A brochure can be made by folding into two, three, etc.
