Here's a little bit more about my process:

See my services

Key principles

Analyze

Gain insights

Thorough analysis of the activity, the competitors and the creative trends as a whole. The more I know, the better and more qualified decisions I make.

Plan

Create a strategy

In close collaboration with the client I create a detailed and ambitious plan. Together we prioritize and set goals and make sure it's realistic to reach them together.

Execute

Follow through

This is where the magic happens and where I get my hands dirty. Short feedback loops and open communication is key to executing visual design in a proper manner.

Evaluate

Optimize

Evaluation and improvement is as important as the previous step. In this phase, I measure the effect and performance, and can provide feedback to better reach our goal.
