process

7 steps from zero to hero!


Each project starts with a coming together. We'll have some chats and get down to the roots of what makes your business, and your consumers tick.

Communication is at the heart of that, I'll listen to you, value and encourage your input and participation. I'll research and explore the market and discover what can elevate you from your competition.

The process remains transparent with conversations and milestones, with you involved in every step. I have broken this process down into seven magical steps to show how a project starts and ends.

step one: howdy

All aboard! From initial enquiry, we have a no obligation 30min zoom call. To gain an understanding of what you'd like. Establish your requirements, success criteria plus timeframes, budget and deliverables.

step two: proposal

No, I won't be down on one knee, but I will outline what we concluded from our initial meeting. Providing examples of my work, a schedule and information to ensure everyone is on the same page. Once this contract is signed, sealed and delivered... I'm yours... well not exactly - a deposit is paid and we'll work together.

step three: deep dive

Don't worry wetsuits not required. We'll have an in-depth  meeting to get to the core of your brand, leaving no stone  unturned. Ensuring all brand values and goals align appropriately. You'll be left with a new found appreciation of your brand plus five mins of homework to complete.

step four: art attack

Where the jeffery is Neil Buchanan? Research and sketchpads are out and initial concepts are thrashed out inspired from deep-dive conversation. From there a selection of design will be refined and developed. 

step five: presents

It's sadly not your Birthday, but this is exciting. I'll be guiding you through your design options, giving a rationale behind the design choices made. 

step six: stick or twist

From the presentation, your invaluable feedback is actioned. Designs are refined and adjusted to perfectly reflect your brand.

step seven: delivered

The hour is upon us - the shiny new brand is ready to launch. All designs are signed off, the final balance is settled. Files and folders are more organised than a Swiss army knife,  you're equipped and ready for action.

I met Tom through using his services at Molokini. Tom is a talented and dedicated designer and I highly recommend his graphic design work. His creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism consistently elevated our brand's visual identity.
