Pinch Design Co. Processes
Branding Design Process
The Consultation
Like any great dish, you need a winning recipe. After your initial inquiry, we will set up a phone call , in-person meeting or video session. I will ask you some questions regarding your business, vision and goals and you get the chance to ask me any questions that come to mind. This step will give us both a chance to get to know one another and make sure we are going to make an awesome team.
Hire + Questionnaire
Once we agree that this will be a great collab, it’s time to gather the ingredients. I will put together a formal proposal for your project and send it your way.
