Michelle K.
Discovery Somatics
"I love my logo! Dory created the perfect logo for me. It represents me completely. She knows the right questions to ask to get the information she needed when I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go. Creating my logo was quick and enjoyable getting me one step closer to building my business. I highly recommend her, and I already have! Dory is a genius!"

Exin Mobile Detailing
"Dory did an amazing job on my detailing companies website and branding revamp! I couldn’t be happier with the results. She took lots of time to explain what was being done, and showed me how to make future edits as well. She did an all around amazing job, and was great to deal with! I will be using her services again, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for help with a website, or branding."

Vancouver Island Barber
"I have worked on many projects with Dory during the rebrand of my business, she is very communicative and easy to work with. From designing business cards to a complete over haul of a website she made the experience very stress free. If you're looking for someone easy to work with that has an artistic flair and no ego look no further. 10/10 would recommend her services to anyone."
The Process Made Simple
From logos to websites and everything in between, I keep the process clear and simple. All of this can be done remotely, so no matter where you're located, we can bring your ideas to life.
Discovery Chat
Let’s start with a quick call or video chat. I’ll learn about your business, what you’re looking for, and how I can help. This is a chance for you to ask questions, bounce around ideas, and see if we're a good fit.
Customized Plan
Based on our chat, I’ll put together a clear proposal that outlines what’s included, how long it’ll take, and the total cost—no surprises. A 50% deposit is required to reserve your spot and get the project rolling. Once we're aligned, we get to work!
Design & Build
This is where the magic happens. I’ll begin working on your logo, website, marketing materials, or whatever we’ve agreed on. You’ll get regular updates and have a chance to give feedback along the way.
Launch & Support
Once everything’s polished and ready, I’ll help you launch it into the world. Need a bit of training? Want ongoing support? I’ve got you covered, now and in the future.
