DESIGN PROCESS

While every project is unique, below are the general steps we'll follow in the design process and what you can expect along the way:

Technicians at Work
01
CONSULTATION

We discuss your project details, timeline, and budget at a walk-through tour or over the phone. This is our opportunity to make sure we're a good fit.

REVISIONS

You review the concepts, provide feedback, and I revise the design(s) until a solution is achieved that you're happy with.

Measuring Tape

Third Party Action
ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Billing:

I bill at an hourly rate of $125 per hour.

 

Proposed Costs:

A proposal is my best estimate for the cost of your project. While I'm pretty accurate with my prediction, the actual design hours may be more or less than proposed. If hours are approaching the proposed amount or your fixed budget, I will notify you to clearly communicate your project status and options.

​

Intellectual Property: 

Designs are created specifically for you. All "work product" (finished designs, mockups, drafts, notes, etc.) become your property as soon as payment is received in full and usage of the "work product" (reproduction, photography, printing, etc.) is determined by the client.

​

Portfolio Rights: 

Once your project is available for public consumption, Lauren McClone Design has portfolio rights to feature it on my website, social media, and other galleries for promotional purposes. I will not share any confidential or sensitive information.
