Two commissions.
The studio takes two kinds of work. Both are drawn and built by one pair of hands, from the first note to the last file.
Neither is a package and neither is a template. Every commission is scoped for the work in front of it, quoted in writing, and signed before anything begins.
Both are taken directly. The note is read by the person who would do the work, and answered within a day.
001 · THE FIRST COMMISSION
Brand identity $8,000
Brand identity commissions begin here.
A brand identity is the set of marks a company is known by, and the written rules that keep them the same wherever they land.

002 · THE SECOND COMMISSION
Design and build $20,000

One person draws the site and then builds it, through to the last file. Here the drawing and the building are the same job.

HOW IT RUNS · FOUR STEPS, IN ORDER, NONE SKIPPED
How a commission goes.
- 01
The note
Write what needs making. I read it myself and answer within a day. If it fits, we talk for half an hour.
- 02
Foundations
Before pixels: what you have, what it is for, what it must become. Agreed in writing before work begins.
- 03
The work
The work takes shape in the open. You watch it happen in your own portal, from first sketch to final file.
- 04
The finish
Nothing ships unfinished. You leave with the whole object and every source file behind it.
THE PAPER
Both commissions run on one agreement. These are its terms: the fee, the schedule, and what you own at the end.
Every commission is quoted against the work in front of it, in writing, before anything begins. The fee is fixed by the scope it is written against, and changing that scope takes a change order both of us sign.
The usual schedule is half on signing, half on delivery. The agreement can name a different one, and the schedule it names is the schedule that holds. Invoices are issued and paid in the portal.
On full payment the finished work is assigned to you, to use in and around your business. The same paper keeps the rest plain. The studio retains its working files and the directions not taken. It may show the finished work and name you, unless you opt out in writing; work you have not yet made public, it shows only with your written consent. And two limits ride with the assignment: the work is not resold or sublicensed as a product of your own, and it is not used to train machine-learning systems without the studio's written consent.
