How we work
Three steps from idea to something real.
Three steps from idea to something real.
01
Tell us where you’re going
Start with a conversation about the business, the problem, and what needs to change. We’ll ask the right questions and figure out where design can make the biggest difference.

02
Get a clear plan
We’ll turn the conversation into a focused scope with deliverables, timeline, and transparent pricing. You’ll know exactly what we’re making, why it matters, and what it costs before we begin.
03
Build what’s next
Once we’re aligned, we get to work. We design, refine, and build alongside you, keeping the process moving without unnecessary meetings, surprises, or scope creep.

“Vaughn didn’t just redesign our brand. They helped us clarify who we are and how we communicate that to our community. Every decision felt intentional, and what we received was more than a visual identity. It was a system built to support our mission and growth.”

What's your design process like?
Every project starts with strategy. I spend time understanding your business, audience, and goals before opening any design tool. From there it's a focused cycle of concepts, feedback, and refinement until we land on something that works — not just looks good.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on scope. A brand identity usually takes 4-6 weeks. A product design project runs 6-10 weeks. A landing page can be done in 1-2 weeks. I'll give you a clear timeline before we start so there are no surprises.
How much do you charge?
I price by project, not by hour. A brand identity starts at $5,000, product design at $8,000, and web design at $3,000. Every project is scoped individually — I'll send a detailed proposal after our first call.
Do you work with startups?
Both. I've worked with pre-seed startups building their first brand and Series B companies redesigning their core product. What matters isn't size — it's whether you care about doing design right.
Can you work with my existing team?
Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with in-house developers, product managers, and marketing teams. I adapt to your tools and workflows — Slack, Notion, Linear, whatever you already use.
What do I need to have ready before we start?
A clear idea of what you need and why. You don't need a brief, mood board, or wireframes — that's my job. A 30-minute call is usually enough to figure out if we're a good fit.
