photography

My photography services are generally limited to taking photos for designs I have been hired to create; for example, I will take product images for use in an advertisement I am designing. These services are billed at an hourly rate, and I then retain the image files. The image files would be available for purchase for unrestricted use at a per-photo charge. I’m also happy to use photos you already have in my designs, as long as they are of high quality and appropriate permissions are in place.

 

copywriting & editing

It’s important for your business to represent itself well in its communications. Marketing with grammar, spelling, or other errors can leave a potential customer with a bad first impression. You also want to be sure the message is communicated clearly and in an appropriate tone. However, not very many small businesses have it in the budget to have a copywriter/editor on staff. That’s where I can step in! When you hire me to create a design for you, opt to have me proofread or edit the content you’ve written, or choose to have me take your thoughts and write the copy for you.

Even if I’m not working on a design project for you, I’m available to proofread and edit  your communications, such as newsletters or email blasts, so you can showcase your business or organization in its best light every time.

Below are some sample pieces that I’ve either written the content, or I proofed the content the client wrote. You might also visit What’s New to read my blog and get a sense of my writing style.

document design

A well-designed document can help your customers understand your message or move through processes easily and without confusion, so they need less direction from you, which in turn saves you time. From forms to user guides and manuals, your documents should be visually appealing, easy to understand and use, and align with your branding. Let me help you redesign your company or organization’s important documents for usability, clarity, and customer appeal.
