Q. What is the process of your work?
A. It starts with receiving a detailed brief from the client to understand the nature of work and timeline. Post that, a mood board is created which consists of references shared by the client as well as additional references to understand the tonality of work. Once the tone is set, few ideas, sketches and roughs are shared to let the client understand the creative process and share inputs. Once the client has clarity on the vision and execution of their work, there on it is a smooth sail.
