FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Note

Asked so often, they got their own frame. Written before lunch. For once. M.

I’ve gathered the most common questions right here for you.

What tools do you mainly work with?

I mostly use Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), Figma for digital work, and sometimes Procreate for illustrations.

Can I request both print and digital designs?

Yes, I work across print (flyers, posters, packaging, editorial) and digital (social media, websites, campaigns).

Do you also offer custom branding packages?

Absolutely, from logo design to full brand identity systems, tailored to your needs.

Will I get the editable design files?

Yes, I provide final assets in all required formats, plus editable source files if requested.

Note

note to self: keep notes short. two lines, max. this one didn’t listen and is now quietly leaving the note.

Amara’s design work is beautiful and really elevated our campaign. Only thing is, the first draft took a bit longer than expected.

Amara guided us through the process and delivered a brand identity that reflects our needs, though some parts could have been more polished.

Thank you, Sophia. Fair point, and it stuck with me: every identity project now gets its own polish round before handoff.
