Let’s Get Started
I can’t wait to work together!
Here are some useful things to know before I start working my magic.
Gathering Content
Once you’ve signed your proposal and paid your deposit, the next step is gathering the content required for your project.
I use a nifty online app to collect your content. This helps us get it right the first time, meaning less email back and forth, less revisions and your project completed faster. It will also help you see what content you need to organise.
Communication
Evolve Brand Design is mostly an online business. This means I primarily communicate via email allowing me to take note of all design requests, stick to our deadlines and work as productively as possible. In person meetings can be arranged at my office – but depending on your package may incur a fee. If you’d like to have a phone or video chat, no problemo! Please email me so we can arrange a time that suits us both.
Please email me with any project information, I don’t respond to text messages for business.
Opening Hours
We’re open all business days 8.30am–5.30pm (Brisbane time) excluding public holidays. We also like to take the occasional holiday or long weekend—who doesn’t right?!
I will let you know in advance if any upcoming leave may impact your project in any way.
Who’s the head honcho?
That would be me! I’m Renee. I’ve been a graphic designer and web designer for over two decades and I love helping my clients turn their dreams into a business and brands they love. As well as being a bonafide branding expert and web design guru, I’m also a project manager, coordinating the services of copywriters, web developers and SEO geeks to help my clients share their light with the world.
But most importantly, I’m obsessed with my two cats, crafting and playing in the garden.
