Commission Intake

My process is collaborative from start to finish. We begin with a conversation about what you want, your vision, and the problem we're solving. Then I research and brainstorm—thinking through concepts, visual language, how to bring your idea to life. Once we land on a direction, I iterate with you, showing sketches or drafts for feedback. Finally, we execute the final piece. A deposit (typically 50%) is required upfront to get started. The full timeline depends on the project scope and my current schedule—anywhere from a few weeks to a couple months.

Absolutely. That's exactly what I love about commissions—taking someone's vision and figuring out how to make it actually happen. Bring me your idea, even if it's rough or half-formed. We'll talk through it, research, brainstorm together, and iterate until we land on something that feels right. I'm invested in making your vision a reality, not steering you toward what I think is "safe." Let's collaborate.

It varies. A smaller illustration might take 3–4 weeks; a more complex design project or sculptural piece could be 2–3 months or longer depending on the scope and my schedule. During our initial conversation, I'll give you a realistic timeline based on what you're looking for. I'm flexible, but I also protect my creative process—rushing never leads to better work.

Revisions and feedback are built into the process—that's the iteration phase. If you want to pivot direction partway through, we can talk about it, but significant changes might extend the timeline or adjust the rate. I'm committed to making sure the final piece is something you love, but I also need to be realistic about scope creep.

Yes, you own the final deliverable and have full rights to use it. The specific terms depend on the type of project (e.g., a logo vs. an illustration), and we'll outline everything in a commission agreement upfront.
