Your sign is often the first handshake between your business and a potential customer. The last thing you want as a brand is to blend in to everyone else around you.
I focus on creating cohesive designs that follow the principles of tailored branding and don't just look nice: they communicate your brand’s personality and values instantly.
Once you get your free marketing consultation, I’ll prioritize professional aesthetics instead of generic ”off the shelf” templates, to ensure your business looks established and trustworthy from the very first glance.
Investing in permanent exterior signage can be intimidating due to the costs involved, which is why getting the design right the first time is critical.
I specialize in high-visibility layouts, ensuring your storefront is both legible and inviting, and so it also matches the same package design of your products.
Whether you are promoting a seasonal sale or a grand opening along with a new web site, or maybe an Ecommerce store: my vinyl banner designs provide a professional edge that DIY tools simply can’t match.
We’ll focus on high-contrast, bold typography that catches the eye of passing traffic without looking like some cheap copy and pate clip art from the 90’s. You can rest easy knowing your vinyl signage still reflects the premium quality of your services.
Internal marketing is just as vital as your outdoor presence for converting visitors into buyers once they step through your doors.
I design high-resolution posters and retail displays that guide the customer journey and highlight your best offers with crystal clarity. My designs are optimized for large-format production, so you never have to worry about pixelation or blurry graphics ruining your professional image.
Add in some video production, and you have a winning combo that’s sure to impress upon everyone that you have the best services in the Lake Zurich area.
I’m not a faceless online design mill. I live in the Chicago area.
To ensure your vision is captured perfectly, I am available to travel to your location to see the physical space where the sign will live.
This hands-on approach allows me to account for lighting, surroundings, and scale, giving you total peace of mind before the design ever hits the printer.
IMPORTANT: everything below is subject to payments being made on time, with prompt communication. We will establish those details once we come to an agreement. Also note that I am verified on LinkedIn, so my name is real (but I never use LinkedIn, I hate it)... And here is a recent video of me for more proof, at a site where I sell kefir grains, in case we meet in person for any of this... I can do my services remotely or in person, depending on what you need (scroll down to "Services"). If something is NOT in our agreement (via contract or email), then it isn't included in my services. So be clear with what you need, because I only charge based on the specific services you ask for. Anything beyond that may increase the price, but if it's super small and within the scope anyway, then I'm okay without doing that.
What you get: everything you paid for, on time, on budget, with no hidden costs, or else your money back, or finished at my own expense. Updates to completion every 3-7 days are included, but bigger projects will establish different times through our email, or contract.
Contract vs. Email: everything is subject to your project requirements, but HUGE projects usually require a small contract in plain English. A typical contract for a large project is about 2-5 pages, but small projects like a basic website can be done through an agreement by email (no fancy contract). It all depends on what you want, but you must pay in milestones as I describe below.
Payment milestones: there are usually 2-3 milestones where you pay. They're usually done in 1/2's or 1/3's of the total project price: first to start, second on first draft, and third upon completing everything in our agreement.
Payment types: I accept Cash in USD, Zelle, Credit, Debit, Check, Money Order, Gold, Silver, and Cryptocurrency (see bottom of every page, certain ones subject to approval).
Discounts: you get 5% off if you pay with Cash, Gold, or Silver. All others are 5% more. If you want the discount, we'll meet at a local library room or something similar, and I'll give you a receipt as proof of payment. Although if you do Gold or Silver, I will want to test them first in front of you via sound, weight, and shape.
Time to start: physical payment methods also get me to start the project immediately. Anything else may have a hold until the payment clears (usually 3-7 days).
Time to complete: you will get this in our agreement (contract or email), but a basic website is usually done within 2 weeks or less, subject to your requirements. HUGE projects with lots of custom programming, heavy graphics, etc. can all take much longer.
