THE PROCESS
1. Listen
I believe that all good work begins with a clear vision and a strong understanding of the brief. I closely collaborate to comprehend your specific needs, the challenges you face, and the desired outcomes. This process involves a total immersion in your business to establish a strong foundation for the project.
2. Discover
Thorough analysis is conducted for each project, complemented by examining cases, trends and cultural references. The objective is to expand knowledge through research and observation.
3. Concept
The core of my work is driven by the concept, guiding the development of visuals. The focus is on crafting strategic concepts that align with the values, personality and value proposition of each brand.
4. Design
The value proposition inspires diverse creative concepts. By leveraging each brand's core values, I develop thoughtful, clever, and challenging design proposals.
5. Refine
Following receipt of the design, you can provide feedback. Here we can discuss if anything needs to be altered, ensure everything is fit for purpose and answers the brief. I will then refine the final design ready for handing over.
6. Roll-out
During implementation, the design is applied to all brand-consumer interactions, achieving a cohesive and recognisable result. Once you approve the design and give the final sign-off, I'll prepare and supply the necessary final files, typically through a download link. Specific deliverables may vary depending on the project, but all appropriate file formats will be provided as discussed.
7. Support
Beyond project completion, ongoing support is offered to address any needs for effective implementation and maximum impact. Simply ask.
