FAQ

A few answers about how I work,
so you know what to expect.

Who do you usually work with?
icon
icon

I mainly work with specialty coffee, tea and cacao brands. The best fit is a product with care behind it. Something with flavour, craft, character or a clear point of view. I help shape that into packaging, identity and illustration people can recognise, feel and remember.

What kind of projects are the best fit?
icon
icon

The best projects usually start with a product that already has something special in it. My work is to make that easier to see, feel and remember. Through identity, packaging or one strong illustration.

Do I need a fully developed brief before getting in touch?
icon
icon

Not at all. Some clients come with a clear brief, and others just know they have a product or brand that needs a stronger visual direction. Both are completely fine. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. A good starting point can simply be: this is what I’m making, and this is where I feel something is still missing.

How is pricing usually shaped?
icon
icon

Pricing depends on the type of project, the scope and how the work will be used. A single illustration is different from a full packaging or identity project. Extra formats, rollout or wider usage can also affect the final fee. The starting prices give a useful first idea. From there, I shape a quote around what your project actually needs.

How long does a project usually take?
icon
icon

It depends on the project, but most projects take between a few weeks and a couple of months. A focused illustration can move quite quickly. A broader identity or packaging project needs more time for research, concept development, feedback and refinement. If you already have a timeline in mind, you can mention it when you get in touch.

Can we work together remotely?
icon
icon

Yes, absolutely. I work remotely with clients in different places, and that usually works very smoothly through email, calls and shared feedback. What matters most is not being in the same room, but having a shared sense of direction and a clear process.

What happens after a project ends?
icon
icon

Once the project is finished, I deliver the agreed final files in the right formats for use. Depending on the type of project, that might include print-ready files, digital assets or simple guidance on how to use the work consistently. And of course, if there is follow-up work afterwards, such as rollout, extra formats or future additions, that can always be discussed.
