How the design process works
A Collaborative Process Built for Academic Success.
I’ve designed this process specifically for busy researchers who need professional results without design headaches. Every project follows a proven framework to ensure accuracy, clarity, and publication readiness.
Strategy Session
We start with a focused consultation to define your communication goals, target audience, and success metrics.
This important step ensures your visuals align with your research objectives and submission requirements.
1 hour, held before the project begins.
Design Development
With a clear brief in place, I craft an agreed number of strategic visual concepts that showcase your research with clarity and impact.
You’ll receive professional designs built on solid communication principles, not just aesthetic choices.
Allow 2 weeks for initial concept (advance booking usually required).
Collaborative Refinement
I refine the concept with up to three rounds of revisions based on your feedback – making sure that every detail feels right.
This collaborative approach ensures scientific accuracy while maintaining visual impact that serves your communication goals.
Allow 2–3 weeks for revisions and final delivery
Key Benefits:
- Strategic thinking meets technical execution – no more design guesswork.
- Full collaboration with checkpoints and revision rounds built in.
- Most projects complete in 5-6 weeks (expedited timelines may be available on request/depending on availability).
- Complete terms and conditions provided with every project quote.
