I'm always open to new and interesting projects! If you have something specific in mind that isn't listed here, don't hesitate to get in touch. I love collaborating on creative challenges, whether that's menu design, signage, merchandise, or anything else where design can make an impact.

Getting started is straightforward and pressure-free:

1. Reach out - Send me an email at hello@miacadesigns.ie with details about your project. Tell me about your business, what you're looking for, your timeline, and your budget if you have one in mind.

2. Discovery call - We'll hop on a call (or exchange emails if you prefer) to chat about your vision, goals, and how I can help bring your brand to life.

3. Proposal - I'll send you a detailed proposal outlining the scope, timeline, deliverables, and investment for your project.

4. Kick-off - Once you're happy to proceed, we'll sign a contract, you'll pay a 50% deposit, and we'll dive into the creative process!

5. Collaboration - Throughout the project, I'll share work-in-progress updates and gather your feedback to ensure we're heading in the right direction.

The whole process is designed to be collaborative and enjoyable. My goal is to make the design process feel exciting rather than stressful, so you'll always know what's happening and when.

My approach blends illustration with graphic design to create brands that feel warm, playful, and distinctly human. Rather than relying on minimalist templates or corporate aesthetics, I focus on creating visual identities with personality and charm.

What sets my work apart:

• Illustration-led branding - I use custom hand-drawn elements, expressive illustration, and unique lettering to give brands a distinctive, approachable character

• Thoughtful and collaborative - I take time to understand your story, values, and audience, ensuring the design truly reflects who you are

• Based in Cork, Ireland - I understand the Irish market and work well with local businesses, but I also collaborate with clients internationally

• Focus on real-world application - I design with practicality in mind, creating brand systems that work beautifully whether on packaging, signage, social media, or print

• Joy-focused design - I believe good design should spark joy and invite people in, not just look polished and professional (though it should be that too!)

The best way to reach me is by email: hello@miacadesigns.ie

I'm based in Cork City, Ireland, and work with clients locally and remotely. When you get in touch, include:

• A bit about your business or project

• What you're looking for (branding, illustration, packaging, etc.)

• Your timeline

• Your budget range (if you have one)

I typically respond within 1-2 business days. If you don't hear back, check your spam folder or send a follow-up!

You can also connect with me through my newsletter or on social media to see behind-the-scenes work and stay updated on new projects and availability. You can find me on instagram.

I work on a project-based pricing model, which means you'll receive a clear, fixed quote upfront based on the scope of your project. This gives you certainty about costs from the start, with no surprise hourly charges.

Every project is unique, so pricing varies based on factors like scope, timeline, usage rights, and number of deliverables. During our initial conversation, I'll ask questions to understand your needs and provide a tailored quote.

Payment structure:

• 50% deposit to begin work

• 50% final payment upon completion before files are delivered

I'm transparent about costs and will always discuss budget early in the conversation. If you have a specific budget in mind, let me know and I'll work with you to see what's possible or suggest alternatives if needed.

Working with me is collaborative, relaxed, and focused on bringing your vision to life without the stress. Here's what past clients have appreciated:

Clear communication - I keep you updated throughout the project with regular check-ins, so you always know what's happening and what's coming next.

Thoughtful process - I start every project with a thorough discovery phase to understand your business, audience, and goals. This means the design work is strategic, not just pretty.

Flexibility and openness - I welcome your feedback and ideas throughout the process. This is a collaboration, and your insights about your business are invaluable.

Rounds of revisions included - Each project includes structured revision rounds so we can refine the work together until it feels just right.

Human and approachable - No confusing design jargon or pretentious creative-speak. I explain things clearly and make sure you feel comfortable asking questions.

Realistic timelines - I'll give you honest timelines upfront and stick to them. Typical brand identity projects take 4-8 weeks depending on scope, though rush projects can sometimes be accommodated.

My aim is to make the process feel exciting and enjoyable rather than overwhelming. You're investing in your brand, and I want that experience to be as positive as the final result.
