FAQ
How does the process work?
It starts with a conversation about your goals, audience and key messages. From there:
-
Strategy — agree the visual approach and what success looks like
-
Creation — illustrations developed with a set number of feedback rounds
-
Delivery — final files in whatever formats you need (print, digital, social)
What's the investment, and how long does it take?
The fee depends on the number of illustrations, format and complexity. You'll get a clear quote after an initial conversation. Most illustration projects take two to four weeks from brief to delivery.
Are workshops online or in person?
Both. I run workshops virtually and in person, and we'll agree the best format for your team and location. I will create a prospectus specifically tailored to your organisation and team's needs.
Do you work with clients outside Ireland?
Yes, I work with clients across Ireland, the UK, Europe and beyond, mostly managed remotely.
Not sure exactly what you need?
That's fine; get in touch, and we can talk it through. No formal brief required to start.
