Start a Project
Whether you have a clear brief or just the beginning of an idea, the best place to start is a conversation.
You don't need to know exactly what the finished artwork should look like. Send me what you have: a photograph, a reference, a space, a supplied design or simply an idea, and I can help work out the most appropriate creative and practical approach.
I take on a limited number of projects at a time, allowing each commission to be planned carefully and delivered to a high standard.
How Projects Take Shape
1. Share What You Have
Tell me a little about the project and send any useful photographs, dimensions, references or ideas you already have.
If you're not sure about the style, materials or exactly what you want yet, that's fine. A rough starting point is enough for us to begin.
2. Creative Direction & Outline Pricing
Once I understand what you're trying to achieve, I'll suggest an approach and talk through any practical considerations. That might mean developing your original idea, suggesting a different technique or material, or finding an approach that works better for the space, timescale or budget.
I'll then provide outline pricing so you have a clear idea of costs before we go further.
3. Design & Booking
Once we're happy with the direction, I'll confirm the project in my schedule and take a deposit to secure the booking. From there we'll develop and finalise the artwork as needed.
Depending on the project, that might involve sketches, reference gathering, supplied artwork, digital mock-ups or further creative development.
4. Creation & Completion
Once everything is agreed, the artwork moves into production, in the studio, on-site or through a combination of stages.
I'll keep you updated as the work progresses through to completion, delivery or installation.
A Guide to Budget
Budgets can vary a lot, and it's fine not to know where to start. Prices range depending on the size, detail and time a project needs, so even a rough ballpark helps me suggest the right approach for what you can spend, and gives you confidence the project won't spiral beyond it.
Private commissions typically run from £250 to £500 for smaller pieces, £500 to £750 for medium-sized work, and £750 to £1,200+ for larger or more detailed pieces.
Commercial projects can start under £1,500 for smaller jobs like signage or logos, £1,500 to £3,000 for mid-scale work, and £3,000 to £5,000+ for larger installations.
Let me know roughly where you sit in the form and I'll help find the right approach.
