The timeline for each commission is unique and depends on several factors—including the medium used, the size and scope of the piece, and my current project schedule.

Here’s what the process generally looks like:

Inquiry Submitted

Use the commission form or email me with your vision.

|

Initial Follow-Up

I’ll reach out to confirm your request, ask any clarifying questions, and provide an estimate for cost and timeline based on the scope of the project.

|

Proposal + Agreement

Once we’ve aligned on the vision and budget, I’ll send over a written proposal outlining the creative direction, materials, and cost.

A deposit is typically required to begin work.

|

Creation Phase

We move along to the creation process!

I will keep you updated along the way and may check in with previews and for consultation as needed.

|

Review + Final Edits

You’ll have a chance to review the piece and request minor edits, if applicable.

|

Final Review, Payment + Delivery

Yay, the piece is done! The remaining balance is due prior to delivery or file release.

Please note that clients are 100% responsible for shipping and delivery costs.

 FAQs

  • I create work in a range of mediums, including paintings, drawings, web design, graphic design materials, and text-based pieces like invitations or signage. If you’re not sure where your idea fits, feel free to describe it in your inquiry form!

  • Timelines vary greatly depending on the size, medium, and scope of the piece. A digital design project and a large watercolor painting will have different timelines. I’ll share an estimated timeframe once we’ve discussed the details of your project.

  • Physical pieces will be carefully packaged and shipped to you. Digital work will be delivered via email or file transfer. Details will be outlined in your proposal.

  • Yes—especially for design-based pieces, you’ll have the opportunity to request small revisions during the review phase. For original artwork like paintings or drawings, adjustments are more limited, but we’ll make sure the vision is aligned before I begin.

  • Costs vary depending on the type of work, size, materials, and complexity. Here’s a general breakdown:

    • Physical artwork (like paintings or drawings) usually has higher costs due to materials (paper, canvas, paint, framing) and time.

    • Digital work (graphic design or illustration) typically has fewer material costs but may include charges for licensing, printing coordination, or high-res file preparation.

    • Web design involves creative design time, but clients are responsible for purchasing their own hosting, domain name, and any third-party integrations (like Squarespace, Wix, etc.). I’m happy to guide you through setup if needed.

    All shipping and delivery costs are the responsibility of the client, including packaging, postage, and tracking if physical artwork is involved. These costs will be estimated and included in your proposal before we begin.

    If there are any unique project needs—like rush turnaround, framing, or special finishes—we’ll discuss them clearly before starting. No surprises.
