⚙️ My Process

1️⃣ Discovery & Consultation

Every partnership begins with a conversation. I take time to understand your story, goals, and creative vision to see if we’re the right fit for one another.

2️⃣ Manuscript Review

I personally read and assess your manuscript or proposal, offering feedback on structure, tone, and market potential — always with honesty and care.

3️⃣ Editorial Guidance

If we move forward, I collaborate with you on refining your work — from developmental edits to pitch polishing — ensuring it’s ready for submission.

4️⃣ Representation & Submission

Once your manuscript shines, I identify and reach out to suitable publishers or editors who align with your genre and message.

1. Discovery & Define

We start with a deep dive into your goals, audience, and what sets you apart. This is where I ask a lot of questions — and probably send a few moodboards.

2. Structure & Strategy

Before jumping into visuals, we map the foundation: site architecture, user flows, wireframes — all the stuff that makes the final product work.

3. Design & Iterate

This is where the magic happens. I’ll explore visual directions, create interfaces, and refine based on your feedback — until everything feels just right.

4. Launch & Support

We test, polish, and go live — and I’m here if you need post-launch tweaks, training, or a bit of design therapy.

Whether you’re ready to kick off a project, want to collaborate, or just want to say hey — I’d love to hear from you.

I typically respond within 48 hours (unless I’m deep in design mode or refilling my coffee). Let’s chat.
