how much do you charge for a _________?
This question does not have a straight forward answer, but for your convenience, I listed my starting price for services. All listed prices are subject to change upon further review.
Final prices are value based and depend on the client’s situation. This is why the discovery call is so important because it allows me to tailor the services to what makes sense for my clients.
*A Convenience Fee is charged for client based inconveniences such as, but not limited to, a rush on projects, additional rounds of revisions and changes to project scope/timeline.

how long will it take you to get this done?
Project timelines are discussed on discovery calls because services are bespoke to every client. I listed average turnaround times for some of my services. Clients usually let me know when they need a project by, if not, I like to ask.

what’s your process like?
There’s usually 7 steps. It begins with messages and after that we set up time for a discovery call. If we both decide to work together, I send over contracts, SOWs, timelines and an estimate.
As soon as all the appropriate documents are signed and the project deposit is paid, I then begin designing. When the project is ready, we’ll review it together, and make any necessary revisions.
Once the project is finished I share the files with the client and touch base one last time to begin the off-boarding process.
what does yeyi mean?
In Nahuatl, “yeyi” means “3”. Nahuatl, pronounced naa·waa·tl, is an Indigenous American language that is still spoken by approximately 1.7 million people in central and western Mexico. I used Nahuatl for my studio’s name to specifically highlight my Native American roots.
The reason why I chose the number “3” was because of its significance in my life and the number I like to use when I design.
once I pay for the project I own it, right?
For most projects this is true. However, for projects like illustrations and bespoke artwork, there are licensing options available that probably make more sense for a particular situation.
For example, if a small bakery needs an illustration for the holiday season, it may be a better idea to purchase a license so they can use the illustration for their marketing.
On the other hand, if a brewery needs an illustration for a rebrand, they might want to outright purchase full rights to the illustration.
