What is the timeline for creating custom hand-painted stationery?

Client projects typically take 6-8 weeks, however, timelines vary based on the scope of work for each project and current lead times based on current availability.

Can I choose the color palette for my stationery?

Absolutely! It is encouraged to share your color palette preferences before the commencement of each client's project.

Can I provide my own ideas and inspiration for the design?

Absolutely! It is important to share your inspiration imagery to ensure that I am a good fit for your project and have a clear understanding of what I will be creating for your custom stationery. For instance, a Pinterest board is very helpful as it provides a visual reference throughout the project. However, emailing images is perfectly acceptable as well!

I am not sure what I am looking for, can you help me with inspiration and mood board?

Yes! I understand that finding the right inspiration for your custom stationery can be a bit overwhelming.

We can start with a consultation where we discuss your preferences, themes, and any ideas you might have in mind. Based on our conversation, I can create a personalized mood board that captures the essence of what you're envisioning. This will serve as a visual reference to ensure we're on the same page before diving into the design process.

Are there any restrictions on design or style?

While I am versatile in working with various styles, I recommend that all clients review my work to ensure they resonate with and appreciate my distinctive artistic style.

How many revisions are included in the custom stationery service?

The service includes two rounds of edits for each asset. Upon receiving the initial sketches and mock-ups, please communicate any desired edits. I will incorporate these changes and share the revised version with you, allowing for additional edit requests. It is recommended to communicate all imagery and color palette preferences before the initial sketches to minimize the need for extra edits beyond the two included rounds. Any additional edits will result in an extra fee of $100.

How is pricing determined?

Pricing is determined by both the quantity of stationery assets being designed and the complexity of the desired design. Custom stationery package prices take into account factors such as the cost of materials and the time invested in creating each piece.

Orders over $1500:

A non-refundable 60% deposit is required upfront to secure your spot in the schedule.

Orders under $1500:

Full payment is required upfront to secure your spot in the schedule.

The final payment is due after the approval of the final project sketches and before the painting phase is started.

Rush services are available; however, the associated fees vary depending on the deadline and the complexity of the work. Rush fees can range from $200 to $500, taking into account these factors. Feel free to reach out to me to discuss and determine if your rush request can be accommodated.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

If cancellation occurs after you have received the initial sketches and mock ups, 25% of the remaining balance will be retained to cover initial planning and scheduling.

Mid-Project Cancellation:

If cancellation occurs after the painting has commenced but before completion of the artwork, 50% of the remaining balance will be retained.

Completed Work:

Once the hand-painted stationery is completed, the full project cost is applicable, and no refunds will be issued.

What materials are used in creating hand-painted stationery?

I primarily work with gouache and watercolor paints, but I may also incorporate materials such as pastel and colored pencil into my designs. Additionally, I am open to using other materials if it complements the vision for your bespoke stationery project!

How are the hand-painted designs digitized for printing?

Each painting will be scanned at high resolution and retouched in Photoshop. This process ensures that each piece is prepared for printing, free from imperfections, and accurately reflects its intended colors.

Additionally, for stationery elements, individual components are often painted separately and then assembled in Photoshop. This approach provides greater flexibility in working with compositions and allows for more precise adjustments.

Do I get to keep the original artwork?

Yes! I'm happy to send you the original artwork. However, please note that certain stationery components are typically painted individually and then digitally assembled in Photoshop. This method allows for more flexibility in creating compositions. Shipping charges will be applicable.
