Create a lasting impression!

Q: Getting started

Let’s chat. Send me an email , and we can set up a quick phone call or a virtual meeting so that I can learn more about your business, your needs, and what you do. This is the perfect opportunity to ask questions and see if we are a good fit for working together. Once we decide that we are a good fit, I will send over a contract for you to sign. A 30% deposit will be required to lock in and schedule the project.

Branding is much more than just a logo. A well-designed and cohesive brand will create a lasting impression on your dream clients and speak to their values and aesthetics.

I create robust and prominent brand identities custom-tailored to fit your business and ideal audience. The branding process itself is collaborative; I will work one-on-one to delve deep into your business’s heart to uncover what it is all about. I’ll help you pinpoint your ideal client, core values, and position in the market so that you can make personalized connections.

Branding packages will cover everything you need to propel your marketing efforts online and offline. The brand package includes a primary logo, secondary logo, favicon, custom colour and font systems, and full brand guidelines to help you maintain consistency and uphold your branding’s integrity on your own in the future.

Leave the stress of trying to design your brand behind so you can get back to doing what you love.

The Design Process

My process has been refined over the past ten years to ensure our time working together runs as smoothly as possible. Here is a general idea of how the process will go.

Once we decide that we are a good fit, I will send over a contract for you to sign. A 30% deposit will be required to lock in and schedule the project.

Discovery

After completing your initial intake questionnaire, we meet for a 1:1 design consultation. In that meeting, we work with your core business values to prioritize and map out your unique brand strategy.

Before any design begins, I will send you a creative direction outlining your brand’s overall style. This step ensures we’re on the same page before any design begins.

Ideation & Refinements

I handcraft one concept* that embodies the highest quality design for your business. Here you have an opportunity to provide direct feedback about what looks amazing and what needs adjustment.

*Why one concept? You’re hiring me for my years of design and creative expertise, I take your trust in me very seriously. You can rest assured that behind the scenes I’ve tried every possible design solution and instead of presenting 3 watered down choices, I put all our creative energy into the very best design solution for your business.

Once I have your feedback I’ll refine the design and work on finalizing all of your brand identity files.

Collateral & Launch

I’ll craft custom collateral for your brand so that your customers have a tailored experience and your brand stays cohesive.

Once the final payment is received, I will package up all the files and assets and share them with you using Dropbox.

Get excited to launch your new brand!

Pricing & Packages

Kind Words

Iva was recommended to us by one of our residents, and her previous work made an impression on us. This project was very important to our community and organization, and we were looking for an expert to help guide us through the process of re-creating our brand. Iva was very responsive, organized, and professional. Her talent as a graphic designer, and attention to detail was invaluable to us. The result was outstanding and fully endorsed by all.

We work in a creative industry, but we felt it would be important to hire someone who truly specializes in branding and web instead of doing it ourselves, because it isn’t our area of expertise. That was absolutely the right decision – She offered so much great information and advice… Our perspectives are broadened to see just how complex and nuanced the field is. There is no way we could have come close to the result that she produced.

FAQs

Please message me if you have any questions that are not listed here.

How does the payment work?

After we chat and decide that we are a good match, you will need to pay a 30% non-refundable deposit to book your project and secure your spot. At the beginning of the project, you will pay 35%, and then at the end of the project, you will need to pay the remaining 35% balance before you receive the final files. Payments can be made by e-transfer, or payed online with a credit card.

Can you make me just a logo?

In short, no. I genuinely don’t believe a logo can be successful unless there is a solid strategic base and thought behind it, so I only offer branding services. ⁠Branding is a much more collaborative process. It will get down to the roots of your business. We will learn things like your businesses, why, what sets it apart, what problems it solves, and your target demographic. By doing so, you clarify what your business is or isn’t setting a clear direction for success. ⁠

What kind of logo file types will I receive?

You will receive all the files you’ll need to stay consistent in both print and web design marketing materials.

File types include .eps, .pdf, .jpeg, and .png.
