Designing

We encourage our clients to visit our shop if they are local so we can show them some samples of work we have on display. This way they can get a first hand look at various designs, styles and components we have on display, and become familiar with surfaced textures and finishes. It also gives them the opportunity to see our shop, learn about our processes, and become more comfortable doing business with us.

Artwork is a personal thing and when designing art work for someone, it is very helpful to get to know them. Meeting our client in person when possible is the the best way. Depending on the size and nature of the commission we may wish to plan a site visit to get a feel for the environment that our work will be designed for. If that is not practical because of distance, then photographs and videos of the location are a good alternative.

Once we are confident that we understand the clients needs, we will create some conceptual sketches with detailed elements where necessary and send it to the client for their feedback. Once we have a design concept that they are happy with, we will produce a detailed drawing for them. When the detailed drawing is approved, we will prepare a quote with a contract.
