Why work with me?
I realize I’ve already mentioned this, but I can’t emphasize it enough. Graphic design has never been just a job for me; it’s my first love! I have a keen eye for detail and take a flexible approach. I’ll ensure that my work fits your design needs, and exceeds your expectations.
And what about the cost? Unlike large marketing agencies, I don’t have extra expenses and overheads, making my prices affordable. Plus, my printing experience means that you’ll receive a print-ready file from me, even if you decide to print somewhere else.
Get in touch!
To work with me, simply drop me an email detailing your ideas – no idea or question is too big or too small! You can also give me a call, although I should warn you that my two little children quite enjoy discussing graphic design ideas too. If you let me know by email what day and time are best to call you, I’ll make sure we’re uninterrupted! As much as I love my kids’ art, it’s not quite up to my high standard…
Thank you so much for checking out my business, and I’m excited to hear from you!
