Your first consultation is always completely free. This is an opportunity to discuss your project in detail, explore creative ideas, and ensure we are perfectly aligned before moving forward.
I believe in providing clear, predictable pricing. Once we discuss your project, I will calculate a flat rate tailored specifically to your needs.
• No Surprises: The flat rate includes all work, revisions, and desired usage rights. There will be no additional charges or overtime fees.
• 30-Day Guarantee: Your quote will remain valid for 30 days. Once agreed upon, the flat rate will be respected, ensuring you know exactly what to expect.
My pricing is based on established industry standards. Rates account for project complexity, usage rights, and revisions, ensuring transparent and fair pricing.
Depending on the scope and intended use of the project, a rights transfer fee may also apply. This fee will be calculated based on industry standards, including usage rights, exclusivity, duration, and geographical scope. The exact fee will be transparently communicated and included in the final project quote.
1. Scope of Work
The size, complexity, and specific requirements of your project, such as detailed illustrations or animation sequences.
2. Usage Rights
The intended use of the work (e.g., local, national, or international campaigns) and whether you need exclusive rights. Licensing fees are calculated based on established industry multipliers.
3. Revisions and Timeline
The number of revisions included in the project and the delivery schedule can influence pricing for projects with tight deadlines or extended iteration cycles.
4. Country and Region
Pricing reflects regional market standards to ensure fairness and competitiveness. In each case, the pricing is based on local pricing guidelines provided by trusted organizations. Please see the links below for more details.
