Frequently Asked Questions
When can I get started?
Availability is listed on our website bar or updated on our Instagram. When you inquire, we will confirm options. We typically book projects 2 - 4 months in advance and our availability varies throughout the year. Our branding projects typically take around 2 months to complete, so it is important that you reach out as soon as possible to ensure we can work within your timeline needs.
What is your process like?
Stage 1 - Discovery: we find out more about you and your business through our enquiry form. Packages are discussed, contracts are signed, payments are made and your start date is set!
Stage 2 - Exploration: this is where we create your moodboards and create brand strategy in order to figure out a direction for your brand.
Stage 3 - Visualisation: this is when you will start to see your brand come to life with initial logo designs!
Stage 4 - Creation: after deciding an overall brand style, we will start creating other branded assets! This is where any print or packaging is designed and presented in mock-ups so that you can visualise the branding in a real life setting.
Stage 5 - Launch: once everything has been finalised, we will send over final files - ready for you to share your new branding with the world!
How do I choose which package is for me?
There is something about parenthood that gives us a sense of history and a deeply rooted desire to send on into the next generation the great things we have discovered about life. And part of that is the desire to instill in our children the love of science, of learning.

Do you offer payment plans?
We understand that working with a professional designer is a big investment, so we try to make payments as comprehensive as possible for our clients. We require a 25% non-refundable deposit to hold your spot in our calendar and typically break the remaining balance into 2-3 payments depending on the size of the project.
