Soft Skills Benefits

I'm working since 2010 and for more 10 years of experience I managed to work nice and smooth

I know all about paper, materials and production

I love paper. I love the feeling when you can touch an object you designed. That’s why I am always curious about all the new brands on the market and possibilities they can provide. I am a frequent visitor of the printing offices and productions and can talk with managers on their language. I also keep an eye on all new techniques of binding, embossing and so on. I love working by hands, one of my personal projects is sketchbook making. So I can really help you to take a project to a new level.

You will tell me everything ^_^

So do I. Communication is essential in design process. If anyone in the crew do not understand what is happening, there might be problems. So I believe talking, talking and then a little bit more talking is useful. The more we all have a picture in our heads what to do, the more satisfying the result will be.
Through my process of work I will show you examples, samples and presentations with directions and we won’t go any further until we all are moving in the right direction.

I will make you work

I usually don’t deal with clients who wants only the designer to take responsibility. It is collaboration, we all are in the same boat to make a product better. We are partners.

I know what papers are

I work fully legal: I have my business bank account, I pay taxes and sign contracts. I do not start the work until we all agreed on the papers. This helps me to feel more secure and you feel more responsible and respectful about my work.
I also am very accurate about the deadlines, licences and working process. If we deal that there will be 1 round of changes — there will be 1 round of changes. This might be not comfortable for the first time, but this is how it should be.

I will Art Direct you

If you like working with me but I can’t provide you some sort of service (like copywriting, UI&UX, 3D, animation, illustration — these all are not my fields) I can help you to find a designer and Art Direct him over the whole project.
