Our Process

01/

Make Introductions

Send us a brief email describing a project you have in mind. We like to meet up with clients if possible, but can have a phone call too, just to make sure we’re a good fit. We’ll discuss the project in more detail.

02/

Define the Brief

We’ll follow up on our initial meeting with a short questionnaire that will help us put together a detailed proposal. This is a crucial step, as it gets us all on the same page with specific goals, deliverables, timeline, and cost.

03/

Kickoff & Make the Goods

Once we’re aligned on the proposal, we’ll send a working agreement, collect a deposit, and get started on your fantastic design project… the fun part!

04/

Presenting, Rounds, Revisions

Each project is different and our detailed and fully customized proposal will give you all the details regarding when and how we’ll present, the process for each step, number of rounds, when feedback is due, and when revisions will be turned around.

05/

Deliver the Goods

Once we’ve worked through the process, and you’re thrilled with your shiny new creative work, we’ll package up and deliver all the goods outlined in our proposal.

06/

Follow Up

Very often, we continue to work with clients after their projects are completed. We can discuss options for retainer work, one-off updates, additional pieces, or can put together new proposals for bigger projects.

The Full Story

It’s a storybook nerd’s tale of reasonable proportion. We met in a grad school typography class and were attracted to each others nice butt. We started dating, but broke up, after we had signed up for a screen printing class together, outside of school. During the class we warmed back up to each other, and the rest is history.

We were each working diligently in our separate careers, each teaching design at our separate schools, and each separately freelancing in our spare time. At the moment we started getting busy (busier than usual), one of us would get a big freelance project while the other would sit around being patient. Then, that project would end, and the other would land a big side-project. In 2016 we decided to try teaming up, not quite sure how we’d work together. Surprisingly well it turns out! We have similarly opposite backgrounds and strengths, that we discovered complement each other really well. We share the exact same passion for design, love to work and create, and have opposite strengths.
