FAQ
What services do you offer?
I create concept-driven communication design — including brand identities, print materials, web design, and creative consulting. Every project starts with strategy and ends with visual clarity.
How long does a project usually take?
Timelines depend on scope and depth. Smaller design projects can be done within a week, while full brand or website projects usually take 2–4 weeks to ensure thoughtful execution and feedback rounds.
Do you also help with concepts or strategy?
Absolutely. Good design starts with a strong concept. I work closely with you to define your message, target audience, and visual tone before any design begins.
Can you design for both print and digital?
Yes — my work covers both worlds. From brochures, posters, and editorial design to websites, social media content, and digital branding.
How do revisions work?
Each project includes several feedback rounds to refine and perfect the design. I value collaboration and make sure your vision aligns with the final outcome.
What tools do you use?
I mainly work with Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), Figma and Framer for digital design. These tools help me create precise, flexible, and high-quality work.
Do you offer long-term support?
Yes, I can support you beyond the initial project — whether it’s for brand updates, social media design, or ongoing creative direction.
Can you help me define my brand from scratch?
Yes. I love working with clients at the very beginning — shaping the concept, finding the right tone, and building a visual identity that lasts.

Concept is King.
Design is Kong.
I don’t just design — I define. Every project starts with intention, strategy, and purpose. Because design without concept is just decoration.
