MY PROCESS
|| GETTING TO KNOW YOU WHAT DO YOU DO, AND HOW CAN I HELP?
Before we start the project, you and I have a conversation about what your business or organization does so that I have an understanding of what my designs will do for you. This is where we decide on a budget, timelines, and what you would like me to create for you. A creative brief from you informs me of what you want your design to communicate and a design direction for me to pursue.
This is where you and I discuss the timelines, paperwork, & payment details. I accept PayPal and Zelle, though I'll be just as good with a physical check. Once I receive a signed contract and an initial down payment, we can get started on the fun stuff!
|| RESEARCH & SKETCHES GETTING INSPIRATION FOR YOUR UNIQUE DESIGN
The research stage is the part of my design process that I value the most. I take pride in diving deep into researching the visual design styles & cultural elements that best represent your type of business, the mood & feel you're going for, and—most importantly—the communities & people that you serve.
After sketching out my findings & ideas on paper, I then digitize two or three different design concepts that I present to you in the first round.
|| DIGITAL REVISIONS MOLDING THE PRETTY GRAPHICS
This is the longest part of the process, regardless of the complexity of your project. The first round of concepts is a progress report to you on what I'm doing before I work on the finer details, such as colors & fonts. This cycle continues for one or two more rounds of revisions.
|| FINAL DELIVERABLES GOOD TO GO!
Once I make a design that you and I are both satisfied with, the files are good to go! After I receive the final payment, I send a ZIP folder of your files your way, and the project is pretty much complete!

TESTIMONIALS
"I've been a fan of Lysander's work since my undergrad days when when he created Geofilters for [CSU Monterey Bay]. When I decided that yoga teaching would be my new venture, I knew I had to reach out to him!
It was a pleasure working together [as] he took my vision, did his research, and brought it to life. Grateful for his talent and creativity—hope we can work together again soon!"

"Working with Lysander was by far the smoothest experience I could've had in designing a logo for my small business.
From the moment that I reached out to him with my potential ideas, he was extremely enthusiastic and brought it into fruition with his own wonderfully unique touches. He updated me every step of the way with drafts, giving me full freedom to make any adjustments, until I was fully satisfied with the final result!
I highly recommend working with him on any graphic design needs!"

"As someone who has run for office successfully several times and also worked on large- and small-scale campaigns, I can safely say that Lysander is by far the most artistic and creative graphic designer I have ever worked with. He understands the importance of meeting critical deadlines while producing the highest quality materials.
I strongly recommend him for crucial campaigns and important projects."

"I want to express my happiness with your graphic design work. The design that you came up with for my small business was contemporary and clean.
I hadn’t given you any guidelines and your design was completely your own. The feedback that I’ve been given from other businesses and companies similar to mine has been overwhelmingly positive. Your work was better than I had hoped for. I have used your logo on hats and bags, as well as on my books and CDs.
I am delighted with your work and I am happy to recommend you to anyone else thinking of using your talents."
