How We Will Work Together
-
Establish Your Goals
First things first, lets get crystal clear about your goals, your mission and what impact you plan on creating with your publication. I want to know all about you, your story and your why. We will catch up over the phone or on a video meeting (hopefully coffee is involved) and chat about all the things including what it is you need and how I can help you.
-
I Provide You a Detailed Proposal
After our catch up, I’ll then get to work on creating a detailed and personal proposal that suits your specific needs. The proposal will outline the entire project scope in stages, what I will deliver, pricing, terms and conditions and any other specific details. You let me know if you’re 100% all in. Then I’ll send you the initial deposit invoice and once paid I’ll get to work!
-
Do The Work
The fun part! I get to work on all the work that was outlined in your proposal. I’ll keep you up-to-date throughout the entire project with clear communication. I understand that life is busy and I want your experience working with me to be fun, easy and seamless as possible for you! You’ve hired me to do the stuff I do best. You can be as hands on or hands off as suits you and your lifestyle.
