FAQs
What kind of illustration services do you offer?
I create illustrations for editorial, publishing, branding, packaging, custom commissions, and licensed products.
What tools or software do you use?
I illustrate using Procreate, Adobe Fresco, Illustrator Photoshop, sometimes incorporating traditional mediums like cut paper, textile, watercolour, ink, and coloured pencil.
How long do you take to illustrate something?
Timelines vary depending on the scope - size, style, subject, and complexity. And, honestly, how much time a client has to offer. It took me about 15 hours from thumbnail to full colour for each of the birds on this page, and about 10 hours total for these gifs.
Rush jobs are possible depending on my schedule.
What is your process?
I am a collaborator through and through. I start by creating a tracking mechanism, asking follow up questions for clarity, ascertaining formatting & size preferences, discussing my clients vision or brainstorming one together if thats their preference.
Then, research and mood boards, followed by rough sketches, then move to colour drafts and final artwork.
For books and packaging projects I get on design & feedback calls as often as I can, to make sure we’re on the same page and on track.
After the final approval, my clients get all their files, in the formats and styles they’ve asked.
Do you offer revisions?
Yes. Most projects include 1–2 rounds of revisions during the sketch and colour stages. Extra revisions may incur additional costs.
What file formats do you provide??
I typically deliver high-res JPEGs or PNGs for web and print, and layered PSD or TIFF files on request.
How much do your illustrations cost?
Pricing depends on usage, complexity, and deadlines. I follow industry-standard pricing models and provide quotes after understanding your project scope.
What is your payment structure?
I require a 50% deposit upfront for custom work, with the remainder due upon final delivery. Larger projects may follow a milestone payment plan.
Do you work with international clients?
Absolutely! I’ve worked with clients across the globe. All communication and file delivery happens digitally.
I’m a writer/author — can we collaborate on a book?
I love working on children's books and narrative projects! Share a bit about your manuscript or vision here.
Do you take on custom commissions?
Yes! I work with individuals and organisations to bring their ideas to life. You can fill out my commission inquiry form to get started.
What rights do I get when I buy a custom illustration?
You'll get specific usage rights (e.g., personal, editorial, commercial) depending on your needs. Full buyouts are available at a premium. This is up for discussion and will be included in our contract.
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
If you’re looking for thoughtful, bold, and inclusive storytelling through illustration, chances are we’ll get along great!
