Questions

How do projects begin?

Send me a message through the contact page. You don't need the whole vision figured out, just tell me what you're imagining. I reply personally within 2 business days. If it's a fit, we'll have a short call, then I send a written proposal with the scope, price, timeline, and terms. Work starts once you've approved the proposal and paid the deposit.

How does pricing work? Do you do custom quotes?

The Services page shows starting prices so you know the range before you reach out. Your final price depends on scope, number of deliverables, timeline, and how the work will be used. Every project gets a written quote before anything starts, so there are no surprises. Custom quotes are always welcome.

Do you take deposits? How do payments work?

Yes. A 50% non-refundable deposit books your spot on my calendar, and the balance is due before final files are delivered. Smaller projects may be paid in full upfront. I send invoices by email.

How long do projects take?

Each service lists its typical turnaround: for example, edited portraits in 7–10 business days and moodboards in 3–5. Bigger projects get a timeline in the proposal. Need it sooner? Rush turnaround is available for +25% when my schedule allows.

How many revisions are included?

It depends on the service, and it's listed on each one. Most design and writing work includes two rounds of revisions; photography includes one round of retouching requests on your delivered images. Extra rounds are available at the rates listed for each service.

Can I use the work commercially?

Personal and promotional use for you and your project is included: your website, socials, press, and release promo. Paid advertising, resale, merchandise, or exclusive rights are quoted separately so the price matches how the work will be used.

How does licensing work?

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, I keep the copyright and you get a license to use the final work for the uses in your proposal. Need broader rights, exclusivity, or a full transfer? Ask, and I'll quote it. I may share finished work in my portfolio unless we agree to keep it private.

How are songwriting credits handled?

Before we write anything, we agree on credits, splits, and ownership in a written split sheet. I don't assume anything is automatic, and songwriting services don't include production, mixing, mastering, publishing administration, or legal advice.

Do you sign collaboration agreements?

Yes. Every project has a written proposal or agreement covering scope, price, timeline, revisions, usage, and (for music) credits and splits. If you have your own agreement, send it over and I'll review it.

Can you build a custom package?

Absolutely. Mix writing, photography, design, and direction around what you're making. Tell me about the project and I'll put together a custom package and quote.

Not sure which service you need?

That’s normal. Describe the idea and we’ll figure out the shape of it together.
