Why should I hire a freelancer over a studio?

The first and foremost reason for hiring a freelancer is the quality of work. A freelancer is nothing without a good portfolio, and therefore to maintain clients, a high standard is a continual requirement. As a freelancer I am directly responsible for every piece of work produced. With every design completed, I always strive to make it the best possible solution for the client and further improve my portfolio for the future.

Can you help with printing?

Yes, I can provide a number of printing services such as business cards, flyers, stationary and banners.  I have many contacts in the printing industry and I will handle all the admin processes.  Printing does come at an additional cost outside my design costs so please make sure to let me know beforehand if you require printing services so I can include it in the quote. 

Do you deal with smaller projects?
