Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
I price my mural / work fairly based on the effort I know I put into this work, and based on my years of experience, there is always someone who will do things cheaper but I am committed to making my work as close to perfection as I can no matter what it takes. All that said there’s always room to be honest about your budget and I can usually find a way to make it work for both parties so never hesitate to be honest about that.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Really just to ask every question related to the project I can think of because the more info the better.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
Completed AP art in high school with the highest grade on my end of year judged art portfolio, then took a handful of classes in college, my favorite was color theory.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I have been painting since I was a kid, and fell in love with doing graffiti / murals in my early teenage years, which lead to doing a lot of sign work, murals for local businesses and much more.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
Everyone from families who want a mural in home to small business to painting on a three story scaffolding in the offices at YouTube, I can work with anyone who wants something created.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
The Cellarmaker truck! Was a lot of work creating the design and painting all three sides but was so happy with the outcome. Probably 25-30 hours of work. Some people thought the designs were a vinyl wrap 🤣 I was proud to inform them it was painted.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
I would say to just provide all info necessary and also to be a little flexible as some murals require adapting to different elements and circumstances through out the process of creating a mural.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
Just whether or not they are certain they want a mural is the most important, and are they comfortable with it being a collaborative effort if they don’t have a design yet.
