SCHEDULING WORK
You can request new projects or work through our client project board, by email or through a work request form.
Turnaround time: Typically I can take care of smaller projects within 2-3 business days.
Large work requests can be scheduled for specific days of the month or to meet a specific deadline. We ask for 7 days notice for a large project so we can block out time.
Retainer clients are prioritized in our schedule which means we make it our business to get your requests done quickly.
Additional Hours: If you need more hours one month than you have in the retainer, we will bill you for the additional hours at a discounted $75 design rate. If you are consistently needing additional hours, we can adjust your retainer plan for cost savings.
