MY PROCESS

  • A hard-copy is kept on my local drives for 3 months, and another copy in the cloud for 4 months.

    If a project requires over 500gb of storage, a hard drive is factored into the pricing, and later returned to the you along with final deliverables once the project is finalized.

  • Determining the needs of your project is always based on the information shared with me in our consultation together. The projects needs can change depending on a variety of factors like budget, timeline, deliverables, and expectations.
