WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
A commission begins with understanding. Here is how your brief can become a working relationship.
Submit the brief below. You will receive an acknowledgment with your inquiry reference. I review your goals, the work required, and availability, and aim to respond within two business days (Monday–Friday, excluding U.S. holidays).
If there is a potential fit, we arrange a conversation to explore your audience, ambition, applications, timeline, and the language your project needs.
Where there is a shared direction, you receive a written proposal outlining the scope, deliverables, schedule, investment, and applicable usage or exclusivity terms for review.
Once we have agreed on the proposal and completed the required agreement and any initial payment, we confirm the start date and begin the creative work.
Submitting a brief is an inquiry, not a booking or commitment. No payment is collected through this form; project acceptance and timing are confirmed separately.
