What thing were you really struggling with before we began working together?
Designing a portfolio website with very little knowledge about web design.
What were you nervous about before our work started?
The investment. I had to put a lot of careful thought into the financial investment and questioned if it would be worth the return. (The answer now is an obvious yes!)
What were you most impressed by when our work began?
How friendly and pleasant you were to work with. how knowledgeable you are about all the aspects of running a creative business: sales, marketing, finances, etc.
How would you describe working with me?
You are the ideal artist mentor. I had such a wonderful experience. You are a true gem!
IT'S RARE TO FIND A PERSON WHO CAN THINK SO WELL WITH BOTH SIDES OF THEIR BRAIN THE WAY YOU do. YOU'RE highly creative WITH AN EYE FOR GOOD DESIGN, BUT you ALSO possess the traits that artistic minds can sometimes lack: organization, a mind for business, an ability to see the big picture, not to mention amazing copywriting skills.
How do you feel now about your decision to hire me?
Working with you is one of the best business decisions I've ever made. You have provided me with so many tools to be confident with my online presence and intentional with my business strategies. I went into The LAB thinking I'd come out with a beautiful website, but I got so much more. Your mentorship and the work I did in The LAB Sketchbook allowed me to dive deep and put more thought behind my business and brand than I ever would have thought to do on my own.
How do you feel now that the project is over about moving forward?:
Confident and ready to share. I'm so proud of my website and new branding and the thoughtfulness that went into it. I'm excited to share my work with the world. It feels amazing to launch a site you're proud of
What would you tell someone who is considering hiring me?
It's just so worth it. As a working artist, your ONLINE PRESENCE IS A BIG DEAL. A website is like your STOREFRONT and often DETERMINES IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO COME IN AND SEE MORE OR KEEP WALKING. I’m so grateful to now have a beautiful site that I can stand behind and a storefront that will welcome clients in.
