Booking: I will be back in touch within 2-3 business days with a custom proposal along with your contract and invoice.

Once your contract is signed and retainer is paid, your project will be reserved on my calendar.

Final Proof & Shipping : Your remaining 50% balance will be due upon the receipt of your final proof, prior to shipping.
