Commissions

Every project starts differently. You may already have a clear idea of what you want, or simply a space and a starting point.

The first step is usually a visit and a conversation to understand the brief, the space and how the piece needs to work. For simpler projects, this can sometimes be done over the phone.

From there, I’ll develop an initial design and quote, then refine the details with you until the design and price are agreed. I don’t usually charge for this initial design stage.

Once approved, a 30% deposit secures the commission and books the work into my schedule. Larger projects may include a further payment during production, with the balance due on completion.
