FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about working with me — services, process, timelines, and The Making Room.

What design services do you offer?

Three main ones: web design & UX/UI, branding & identity, and graphic & editorial design. Each service page explains what's included and how we'll work together. You can also browse the full overview on the services page.

How do we start working together?

Reach out through the contact page — the form, my email, or WhatsApp. Tell me a little about your project and what you're hoping for. I typically reply within 24–48 hours, and then we have a quick call or chat to see if we're a good fit. No commitment until we both agree on the scope.

How long does a typical project take?

It depends on the project. A focused brand refresh or a small print piece can come together in a couple of weeks; a full brand identity or a new website takes longer. I'll always give you an honest timeline before we start. I only take on a few projects at a time, so yours gets my full attention.

How much does freelance graphic design cost?

Every project is different, so I don't use a one-size-fits-all price. The cost depends on what you're creating, the scope of the project, and the deliverables you need. As a freelance designer, my rates are generally more affordable than working with a design agency, while you still get a personalized, professional design process. Once I understand your project, I'll give you a clear quote before we get started.

Do you work with clients outside Kelowna or the Okanagan?

Yes! Most of my process works beautifully over email and video calls — discovery, reviews, revisions, delivery. I'm based in Kelowna, BC, but I work with clients anywhere.

What do you need from me to get started?

Whatever you have: your existing logo, photos, content, links to brands you admire, and a rough idea of your goals. You don't need everything figured out — part of my process is helping you get clear on what your brand (or website) needs to do.

Will my website show up on Google?

I build every site with SEO foundations: clean semantic code, proper meta titles and descriptions, and local SEO basics for Kelowna and the Okanagan. No designer can honestly promise rankings — but I'll give your site the best possible start.

Where can I buy your pottery and merch?

You can shop my pottery and merch right here on The Making Room Shop. I also have a selection of handmade pieces on display at Studio 108, inside the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, alongside pieces from fellow local potters.

How many revisions are included in a design project?

I typically include up to 3 rounds of revisions in a design project. This gives us room to refine the work, make adjustments, and get the design closer to what you have in mind. If additional revisions are needed beyond the included rounds, they're available at an additional cost.

What files will I receive when my design project is complete?

All of them! Once the project has been paid in full, you'll receive the final design files you need to use your work across print and digital platforms. You own your final design files — I only keep copies for my records and to showcase the project in my portfolio.

Will I own the final design?

Yes. Once the project has been paid in full, you own the final design and have the rights to use it for your business as agreed in the project terms. I may keep a copy to showcase the finished work in my portfolio.

Do you offer ongoing graphic design or monthly design support?

Yes, when ongoing support makes sense for your business. This can include marketing materials, social media graphics, website updates, and other design needs that come up over time. We can figure out a flexible arrangement based on what you actually need rather than forcing you into a fixed package.
