01 / BRIEF
Understand before you design.
I ask the questions most designers skip. What's the actual problem? Who's the buyer? What does "on brand" mean to you — and does it match what your brand actually is right now?
The intake is thorough on purpose. Garbage in, garbage out — and I'd rather spend an hour on the brief than redo a finished file.

02 / CONCEPT
One strong direction. Not three weak ones.
I don't do the "three options and a prayer" routine. You get one well-considered direction — researched, reasoned, presented with context.
If it needs a pivot, we pivot. But I'd rather defend a smart choice than overwhelm you with alternatives designed to hedge my bets.

03 / DEVELOP
Refinement, not guesswork.
One round of focused feedback, then I develop. No endless loops. No "let's try this and see." We're moving toward the final, not orbiting it.
This is where the system gets built — the logic, the spacing, the colour rules that make it hold together at every size and in every format.

04 / DELIVER
Files that actually work. Everywhere.
Print-ready PDFs. Web-optimised exports. Brand guidelines your future self will thank you for. I handle the technical side so the vendor, developer or printer doesn't come back with questions.
You get the full package — not just the pretty version.
