How I start every brand project, before any sketching

Three conversations, one page of notes and a list of words the brand should never sound like.

Choosing a typeface you will not grow tired of

Why I set the same paragraph in ten faces, print them all and pin them up for a week.

Why every logo I draw still goes to the printer

A screen forgives a lot. Paper does not, and that is exactly why the proof is worth the wait.

Good to know

How a project with the studio runs

Last updated 1 October 2026

Folio is a one-person studio, so you work with me from the first call to the last file. This page explains what happens in between, with no guesswork along the way.

Before we start

  • A free call to talk about your brand and your dates
  • A short written plan with the price and the steps
  • Half the fee to begin, the rest at handover

While we work

I share work every week, in a shared folder you can open at any time. Two rounds of changes are included at each step, and I will tell you before anything would cost more.

When we finish

You receive every final file, a short guide to using them and a call to walk through it all. The files are yours to keep and use as you like.

Newsletter

Notes from the studio, about once a month

New projects, a typeface I have fallen for and the odd print sale. Short, and never more than once a month.
