FAQs

How do payments work?

50% to kick off, 40% at first full proof, 10% at final handoff. POs welcome. Net terms for institutions on approval.

Do you work with schools’ procurement?

Yes. Familiar with strict procurement flows (including FAMIS). I’ll prep quotes, scopes, and vendor paperwork.

Can you manage printing?

Yes—quoting, proofs, press checks, finishes, logistics. Print is billed by the printer; I manage the process.

What if the deadline is tight?

I’ve shipped hundreds of deadlines. If scope fits the calendar, it gets done; otherwise I’ll say so upfront.

Who owns the files?

You do. Final packaged files + exports are delivered via a hosted portal at wrap.
