What this site is for
This site shows examples of my graphic design work and provides information about my services and published prices. The information is for general reference.

If we decide to work together, the scope, fees, payment schedule, revisions, deliverables, and rights to the finished work will be set out in a separate written agreement. That agreement will govern the project if it differs from these website terms.
