Making Visions Visible
One of the greatest privileges of my career is my interaction with clients. Whether they are new faces or old friends, collaborating with them to create their vision becomes a wellspring of new ideas and deep friendships. It is so gratifying to realize on canvas something that a client has long held only in their imagination, and it is a wonderful compliment when a former client returns for a second (or third) project.
The Five C’s of Commissions:
Connect- We determine if we are the right fit for one another.
Collaborate- We discuss, sketch, and pray to a unified vision.
Contract- We agree on terms to protect our mutual interests and expectations.
Create- The work and dialog evolve.
Confirm- We make the final adjustments to perfect the end result.
