FAQs

Freelance or Full Time?

90% of the time, I’m looking for Full Time. I’m open to freelance depending on the project and availability.

Are you looking to be hired as a creative team?

Depends on the client. While we love to work together, we are very different people with different interests even when it comes to what kind of work we want to do. Doesn’t hurt to ask though, we make a good team.

What’s your day rate?

Typically falls between $500 and $1,000, depending on the project's scope, industry, and specific requirements. For high-profile clients or specialized industries like entertainment or tech, or for projects with tight deadlines, my rate may be higher to reflect the level of expertise and quick turnaround needed.

Are you willing to come into office or relocate?

Yes, to an extent. Ultimately looking to stay in Los Angeles as remote worker or hybrid, adjusting my hours for different timezones if necessary. I’m open to a discussion on relocation depending on the offer.

Do you have managing experience?

I’ve managed teams of graphic designers and account pros, collaborating with strategists to create killer decks and presentations. My focus has been on keeping everyone aligned on creative concepts, giving direction, supporting the team, giving feedback and delivering projects that hit both creative and strategic goals.

While I haven’t done formal reviews or given performance feedback yet, I’ve built solid experience in leading and guiding teams to get great work done.

Are you looking to stay in entertainment?

Yes, but I’m always open to new experiences and fun work! I just have a soft spot in my heart for entertainment and film.

Can you code or animate?

While I can’t code, I’m intermediate at animating in Adobe After Effects. Granted, mostly self taught for when we’re down a graphic designer and someone needs the copy to do a spin.
