The process begins with an inquiry, people come to me in many ways... whether it's a message from a
Facebook Fan or
Etsy custom-request or an
email from the contact form on my website....business card or friend referral. First the client reaches out and makes a request. Next we establish a timeline, motif and palette, design and payment details, then the creative process takes over and the magic happens in the studio!
