The Artist Program is ideal for established artists who have at least 5+ completed portfolio projects ready to display on their online portfolios. This is not a requirement but highly encouraged so we have plenty of content to pull from. There are no fees required to apply.

Our office hours are Monday-Thursday 10am-4pm, with Fridays being reserved for returning clients who have booked Studio Days.

Yes, we require a 50% deposit upon booking and 50% upon completion of the project. If you are needing a different payment plan, we can discuss options.

We do consider one scholarship per session for artists facing financial hardship and/or artists in underrepresented communities, including people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other marginalized groups. Please email info@dn-a.co if you would like your application to be considered for a scholarship.

We are always empathetic towards life circumstances that could conflict with our prescheduled session times and 1on1 meetings. If this happens, we will need to reschedule your meeting times to the third month of the session in order to keep others on track for their scheduled times during the first two months. There is a $50 rescheduling fee.

Costs for designer font licenses, print collateral orders, custom domains, and Squarespace hosting, are not included in the package price and are the responsibility of the client. We are happy to guide you through this process and we do receive a 20% off discount the first year for Squarespace plans when you purchase through us.

We have developed three (fourth coming soon!) distinct, strategy-developed website designs built to support your needs as an artist. Each designer layout is built with the same site structure, but different design, interactive and aesthetic choices that offer rare web worlds.

While more than one artist may build from the same starting point, each layout serves to fully support your unique artist identity, transforming the foundation into something entirely your own through your portfolio, story, and new creative identity.

Our designer layouts offer incredible value, integrity and impact for a thoughtful experience and output that honors your creative vision.

Yes, you will receive files for your brand fonts that you can download to your computer for usage. Although, oftentimes we will give you the option to choose from a selection of beautiful designer fonts which require licensing to purchase. In this case, you would be responsible to pay for them. If you’d rather avoid this cost, we can find free or lower cost alternatives.

We only use Squarespace for our Artist Program participants at this time.

In order for us to build a consistent experience for your website, we require a brand identity to be completed before we begin the website design and development. This guides the layout style, font selection, colors, etc. which ultimately inform the look and feel of the site.

We do our best to make it as easy as possible for you to update your site on your own. We offer a full instruction page, along with walkthrough tutorials to help you learn how to keep your site current. Occasionally there could be a CSS feature that makes it more difficult but we can discuss those features as needed.

Yes, extensive functionality implementation such as complex ecommerce needs, membership websites, and advanced integrations can be quoted on a case-by-case basis but will require additional web development support. This can be booked with Maya as a separate add-on.

We provide you with detailed SEO guidelines for you to prepare the portfolio content on your site, so you can add proper descriptions and resize / compress images to current standards. We’ve also designed the layouts to be SEO friendly by nature.

Studio Days are day rate intensives (10 hours including final file creation), in which we partner together to audit your brand, create or update designs and accomplish outstanding tasks for your business. This is a great way to elevate your brand in just one day. Whether you're a returning client needing to refresh your current brand in order to reestablish your connection with your audience, make updates to your website, create a creative campaign, or design / order your brand collateral, there are endless possibilities for what we can accomplish together when we are in direct communication for a full, uninterrupted day.

If you are wanting to wait a while before adding more designs or implementations to your brand or website, you will have access to Studio Days as a returning client, so this could be booked at a further date to complete the remainder of work.

There’s one round of revisions included for both the brand and web portions, but we can also add on rounds at an hourly rate of $200/hr, although with all the art direction and designer layouts approved beforehand, usually only one round is needed, if any.

We deliver brand assets in black and white as png, svg, eps, pdf, jpeg, including vector files. We also give you .otf or .ttf font files. You will receive a customized pdf Brand Guide for your reference as well.
