    "We found that Erin was conscientious and engaged from the beginning of our communication, at each step of the way and all the way through to the completion of the project. His proposal for the timeline and product delivery was clear, and he responded quickly as the pieces were developed with the Mindport team. We found that communicating our preferences for the image development was smooth and produced results in line with the overall appearance we were aiming for."

    We've been recommended to contact Erin to make the album art for our last music release. After seeing what he did on his site and listening to his music band, we've been convinced. He took care to asked us what we had in mind to specify and find where to go in a kind, natural and efficient way. As musicians, It was reassuring to know that he's also one and he understand what we need. Finally, he just took our ideas/expectations and make them real, sublimating them in the process. Erin is cool, and serious, and his work rocks, so we can do nothing but recommend him!

PROCESS

  • You reach out, and I provide a clear overview of my process, pricing, and packages. I gather details about your project goals, brand identity, and target audience to ensure the best results.

  • I conduct in-depth research to understand your industry, competitors, and design trends. Whether it's branding, web design, or illustration, this phase ensures a strong foundation for your project.

  • I begin sketching initial ideas and wireframes to explore different creative directions. This helps define layout structures (for web design), compositions (for illustration), and logo variations (for branding).

  • Once a concept is selected, I refine it with precise detailing, ensuring strong visual appeal and functionality. For branding and graphic design, I create polished assets in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. For web design, I build high-fidelity mockups in Figma

  • I present the design for review, making any necessary adjustments based on your feedback. My goal is to ensure the design meets your vision while maintaining usability and brand consistency.

    • Branding & Graphic Design: You receive high-quality, print- and web-ready files in multiple formats.

    • Web Design: I develop your site using Squarespace, or Framer, optimize it for SEO, and ensure it runs smoothly across devices before launch.

    • Illustration: I provide high-resolution artwork, ready for print, digital use, or animation integration.
