A: Yes, Studio Stricker is currently run as a solo-led studio, meaning you work 1-on-1 directly with me, Jayson Stricker, on every stage of your project. For larger scope productions, I collaborate with a network of vetted creative freelancers to ensure every deliverable meets our studio's standards.
A: While freelancers typically execute isolated tasks, Studio Stricker operates as a full-service creative partner. I provide comprehensive end-to-end design, motion graphics, and creative direction, delivering a cohesive, visual strategy to your entire project rather than just delivering a one-off asset.
A: Most standard commissions and projects take one to two weeks to complete upon your scheduled start date. Delivery times may vary depending on project complexity and current queue volume.
A: All official project communication and draft previews are delivered directly to your email. Updates are sent at key milestones (initial concept, rough draft, and final review) so you can approve progress each step of the way.
A: Yes. Rush orders are available depending on schedule availability. Expedited requests incur an additional fee to prioritize your project ahead of the standard queue.
A: When you reserve a slot, Stripe places a secure temporary hold on your payment method. Your card is not actually charged yet, think of it as securing your place in a project queue.
A: You are only charged once I review your request and confirm availability on the studio calendar.
A: If schedule availability is full or the project is not a fit, I will cancel the request. The temporary hold on your card will be released, and you will not be charged.
A: Once a request is accepted and production officially kicks off, the payment is captured and becomes non-refundable, as studio time is actively committed to your project.
A: Every project includes dedicated development phases, concept delivery, and a set number of review rounds (typically up to three rounds of revisions) to fine-tune the final deliverables to your vision.
A: A revision is a tweak, polish or minor adjustment made within the agreed-upon project brief (such as tweaking colors, adjusting timing, or shifting a graphic element). A scope change is a brand-new request or fundamental pivot added after production has started (such as adding a character, redesigning a logo halfway through, or requesting extra deliverables not in the initial brief).
A: If your project requires a scope change or extra revisions beyond the agreed limit, we will discuss it together, and apply a custom add-on fee to cover the additional production time.
