The Project, and The Pitch (part 2 - with pricing and ordering info!)

Did I mention Canva is one of my favorite hyperfixations? And that I got a one month free trial of Zazzle's premium membership, so I have free shipping for the next month?

Yeah. I've been having fun.

Introducing, the resurrection of my small design business:

To begin!

I'm starting at three digital products, with three different price points and multiple levels of customization.

Product Number One: The "Hello, My Name Is" Name & Pronouns badge:

Starting at $5, customize-able up to $15. Perfect for anyone re-introducing themselves, or who work closely with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Order Form Here.

Product Number Two: The Fully Customized Name & Pronouns Badge:

Starting at $15, and customize-able up to $45. Perfect for small business owners, especially those who vend at street fairs and flea markets - instead of endless business cards, include a QR landing page with your business and payment information that folks can favorite from their mobile web browser on the spot! Also perfect for fellow community organizers, no need to use disposable nametags for every networking event. Order Form Here.

Product Number Three: Medical Information & Neurodivergent Self-Advocacy Badges:

These are the cards I made myself for chronic pain and hyperverbalism, but I can also work with my customers on designing communication cards for non-verbal neurodivergence, as well. I'm also open to collaborating with you on any communication card design that you think will be useful to you or a loved one. My only real design constraint is that I can't use Braille.

If you'd like to see how I'm using these cards for my own safety and advocacy, see this blog post.

Because these aren't quite as cut-and-dry to design, I'll be requiring a non-refundable down payment of $30 to cover the first design, and then bill at the end of the project at a rate of $10 per hour put into the project after the first design. Each design typically takes 1-3 hours to complete. Please use my contact page to make your project request!

Again, this is for DIGITAL PRODUCT ONLY, delivered by email in PNG image format. You can then take it to any printer you'd like to support and put it on whatever medium you'd like.

Another thing you can use that contact page for is to discuss full or partial barter for my design services, especially if you live in the West Michigan area! I'm particularly looking for:

• Gently used or new clothing, particularly in natural fabrics: sized XL/0X / 2X Chinese, 34" inseam, shoe size women's 9 US / 40 EU / 25.5 JP.

• Tailoring and cobbler services.

• Handmade clothing, jewelry, and accessories.

• Antique cast iron cookware.

• Mani/Pedi services.

• Home grown or foraged food (unfortunately, no dairy, eggs, soy, nuts of any kind, or tomatoes/tomatillo).

• Friskies canned or dry cat food, or Temptations cat treats.

• A few hours of help around the house/yard, or a few hours borrowing your Bobcat.

And finally, keep an eye on my blog for product announcements! I'm already working on hospital room info signs for extended stays, as well as flyers for mutual aid fundraising campaigns. And I have lots of experience with designing event flyers for local art performances and vendor markets.

Support Human Creativity and Communication! And support yr Auntie's income as she's Going Through It and could use the happy distraction as well as the financial help.
