PROCESS

The design process always begins with an initial consultation. In order to create a design we learn about our client’s company, their preferences, and the purpose for each project. Every customer is unique and designing a concept to fit their vision requires collaboration. Below is a description of our design process with a brief summary of each step.

Step 1: Initial Phone Call or Meeting

The consultation provides information about our client’s business such as products and services, target market, and goals. It establishes the purpose for the project. We review marketing elements and samples to develop the overall strategy.
