... Is a bit more personal for my clients.

We start with the usual consultation that ends with a personal style quiz. This helps me understand what style my clients are looking for and communicate it to them visually. Then we break down contract deadlines, and meet back up for each round of edits until the client is satisfied.

Take a look at the examples below, view progress steps, see past client presentations, and read what others have to say about hiring me.

Steps

Research

You tell me about the project and I do some research. I'll show you examples of what others in the industry are doing, and a variety of artistic styles to help you identify what resonates the most with you. This helps you make two important decisions. First, do you want to emulate the competition or stand out? Second, what feels like your brand?

Then we decide if we want to work with each other.

Contract

We can't get started without one. I'll write up a contract that details payment, deadlines for when each step of the process is due, and what the end product will be. Once it's signed and the nonrefundable deposit has been paid the creative work can begin!

You can view a sample contract here.

Step 2: Options

The three ideas selected from before are presented to you again, but better. Now the concepts have color and style! You will select one. Sometimes you love multiple ideas, or you love the layout of Option 1 but prefer the color from Option 3. It's common for clients to request that parts be Frankensteined together for the next step. After we verify your notes on the design selection, I disappear into my workshop to bring one final design to life.

"I've worked with many graphic designers over the years and my experience working with Stephenie Walker was like no other. Her approach to discovering what was in my mind was simple yet profound through every step of the process. By far she is the person I go to for all of my projects today! And from working with Stephenie to create my first book cover, I discovered things about myself (like my desire for negative space) that I have taken with me and implemented into other areas of my personal and professional work space. I highly recommend working with Stephenie for any of your graphic design projects no matter the size."
