FAQs
What services do you offer as a freelance designer?
I provide a comprehensive range of design services including Visual Identity (branding), Logo Design, Web Design, Web Development, and Motion Design. My focus is on creating thoughtful identities and bespoke websites for organisations that want to make a positive impact in the world. Whether you need a complete brand overhaul or a purpose-driven website, I can help craft something unique that connects with your audience.
What industries or sectors do you specialise in?
While I work with clients across various sectors, I particularly enjoy partnering with purpose-driven organisations, charities, sustainable businesses, and creative enterprises. My branding and website approach works well for those who want their visual identity and digital presence to genuinely reflect their values and mission.
Do you work with small businesses or only larger organisations?
I work with organisations of all sizes! From solo entrepreneurs and small businesses to established companies and non-profits. My process is tailored to suit each client’s specific needs and budget considerations.
What does your design process look like?
My process typically involves:
Discovery – Understanding your goals, audience, and unique challenges
Research & Strategy – Exploring concepts and developing a strategic direction
Design Development – Creating visual solutions that address your needs
Refinement – Collaborative feedback and iterative improvements
Implementation – Delivering final assets and/or launching your website
Every project is different, so I adapt this process to suit your specific requirements.
How do you approach collaborative projects?
Collaboration is at the heart of my work process! I enjoy partnering with other freelancers, agencies, and directly with clients. I have a close network of other designers, developers, copywriters, and photographers, which means we can collectively tackle projects of any size. I believe the best work comes from combining diverse perspectives and skills.
Can you work with my existing team or agency?
Absolutely! I’m equally comfortable working directly with clients or slotting into your agency to fill a design or development requirement for specific projects. I’m flexible and can adapt to your team’s workflow and communication style.
Do you have experience with [insert buzzword] framework?
I have experience with various platforms and while I’m proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, I focus on selecting the right technology for each specific project rather than being tied to a particular framework. That said, I often create sites powered by WordPress CMS so my clients have the content control over the website that they need.
Where are you located and do you work remotely?
I’m based in Bristol, UK, but work with clients worldwide. I work remotely for most projects, using video calls and collaborative tools to maintain clear communication. For local clients, face-to-face meetings can be arranged when beneficial.
What are your typical timeframes for projects?
Project timelines vary depending on scope and complexity:
Brand identity projects typically take 4-6 weeks
Website design and development usually requires 6-12 weeks
Smaller projects or updates can often be completed in 2-4 weeks
I’ll provide a more accurate timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific requirements and current workload.
How do you structure your pricing?
I offer flexible pricing options based on project requirements rather than hourly rates. This project-based approach ensures you know exactly what you’re investing in from the start. I can work with various budget levels and will be transparent about what can be achieved within your budget constraints. Please get in touch for a personalised quote.
How can we start working together?
The best way to begin is by reaching out via my contact form. We’ll schedule an initial call to discuss your project, goals and requirements. Following this, I’ll provide a proposal outlining the scope, timeline, and investment. Once approved, we can get started on creating something incredible together!
Do you offer ongoing support after project completion?
Yes, I provide various support options after your project launches. For websites, I offer maintenance packages to keep your site secure, updated, and performing optimally. For branding projects, I can help with implementing your brand across various channels or creating additional assets as needed.
Is there anything unique about your approach to design?
I tend to spend longer in the discovery and planning stage than some of my contemporaries. From experience I’ve found that this helps to solidify and focus the aims and purpose of the work, and always results in a stronger outcome. By creating thoughtful, strategic work that connects with your desired audience and helps achieve your goals. I prioritise understanding your values and mission to ensure the visual identity or website truly represents who you are and where you want to be.
So it is ‘AD’ or ‘Andrew’?
I answer to either. Andrew is my real name; AD (pronounced like the letters, ay-dee) was a nickname given to me in primary school and has stuck ever since.
