our unique & traditional design process
-
Dream it.
We talk about the project, the goals, and look at visuals to see what direction we want to move forward in. We will create a few mood boards, collect information about your project goals. You have the most power in this stage to dictate how the project will go.
-
Sketch it.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
-
Make it.
We start moving our sketches onto Adobe programs like illustrator or indesign (based on the project). We finalize logos, create mockups of what your final product might look like, design the website based off hand sketched wireframes. This is where your idea becomes a reality.
-
Revise it.
We will send your project over for review. You are provided with 2 free revisions in your project. Don’t love the color scheme? now is your time to change it before the project comes to a close.
-
Finalize it.

Enjoy it.
Watch as your logo draws people into your store. Sit back while your customers schedule through your website. Smile as they purchase your new shirt. Hear how they noticed your new product in the mail or at the store. This is what it’s all about.
