DISCOVERY
Apply

Once submitted, you’ll receive a discovery questionnaire that allows you to share details about your voice, audience, inspiration, and timeline. Theses step ensure we begin the project with clarity and alignment.
DIRECTION
Design
We begin the creative process with a one-hour vision call to discuss your goals, inspiration, and overall direction for your author website. From there, I translate everything into an initial rough draft, focusing on structure, layout, and visual tone. This draft serves as the foundation for collaboration and refinement based on our discussions.
DELIVERY
Launch
Through multiple rounds of revisions, we refine the design to ensure every detail feels aligned and intentional.
