Frequently Asked Questions

  • The process begins with a discovery phase where we discuss your boutique aesthetic, clientele, pricing goals, and inspiration. From there I develop visual concepts and prototypes before moving into production.

  • Collaborations can range from boutique-exclusive variations of my existing design language to fully original collection development, depending on the scope and desired exclusivity.

  • Exclusivity is customized per collaboration and can include regional exclusivity, limited-time exclusivity, or exclusive materials/colorways.

  • Opening minimums vary by collaboration type, but capsule collections typically begin around $350.

  • Collections are developed with your retail pricing goals in mind while maintaining appropriate material and production standards.

  • Timelines depend on collection scope, but capsule collections generally take 4–8 weeks from concept approval to production.

  • Most collaborations are designed with reorder potential in mind unless otherwise specified under exclusivity terms.

  • Branded display cards and simple merchandising support are available depending on the collaboration scope.

  • One revision round is included during prototype development. Additional revisions can be accommodated, but usually come with an additional charge.

  • Unless otherwise agreed, I retain ownership of original designs while providing agreed exclusivity terms during the collaboration period.

  • My work spans several connected aesthetic directions, which allows me to tailor collections to different boutique atmospheres while maintaining a cohesive artistic voice.
