Frequently asked questions

What do I need to give you to get started?

We can start from complete scratch. All I need from you is the vision of what you want to create. If you already have some designs in place, we can use them as the starting point, or scrap them and start from scratch.

Can you work with wireframes or our existing designs?

Yes! In fact, if you have something to use as a starting point, it already boosts the process by a lot, and brings the total cost down.

Can you work with our in-house team?

Absolutely. I've worked on projects both as a solo designer and a part of a team.

How do you charge?

Projects start at $5k. I charge 50% up-front, and the remaining 50% when the designs are completed and approved.

I have an agency. Can I outsource work to you?

Yes, I work with agencies.
