It's helpful to start by meeting with the client, to capture the essence of your goals and needs. We'll assess your situation and offer solutions from the start, and can usually provide an estimate within a week's time (*Printing quotes & vendor services sometimes delay the process). We then proceed to research your market and work on generating ideas.
Depending on your schedule, we can submit stages of the project for your review as we go - or if you aren't a hands-on person, we can formulate multiple solutions for you to choose from. While much of our initial research work consists of sketches and mood boards, we combine these with a game plan to make a tangible, cohesive presentation for your review.
As the project evolves, we find that digital correspondence is a very efficient means of communication with you - since our work is visual, emails and file transfers allows us to literally show you the work in progress. This of course works hand-in-hand with scheduled meetings and open phone conversations, as we are very accessible and receptive to our clients' needs. From setting up or directing photo shoots to finding packaging and printing vendors, we will either provide or coordinate all of the services you need for your project and follow it through to completion. And if there's a service you need but don't see it listed here, it doesn't mean we can't do it - Hula Girl has been known to venture into unknown territory without fear.
"Keep up the beautiful work — I love your stuff!"
"Thank you, thank you for pulling it off — we are going to rock at the [trade] show and you will have had a big part of making that happen. The [packaging] looks great!"
"You do GREAT work. Thanks."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you... your email was inspirational for me to start taking over. I have some leads, yet this one is the best one yet. I will take your advice and keep you posted. If anything comes of it. I surely will keep you in the loop. Thank you again."
"Good to hear from you. Our swabs with your new label design are doing well at Wal-Mart, and we are currently outselling Johnson &Johnson ... I believe that we have a good chance of picking up all the business, but if not, at least staying in the line. We have been very pleased with your work and outstanding creativity. Especially appreciated has been your quick response time and willingness to try different approaches. You are great to work with. Your work on our labels for Proctor & Gamble and Wal-Mart have had a major difference on the success of several of these items. We thank you!"
"Nancy has been a big part of Cantaré Foods' success by partnering with our marketing team to create distinctive designs for tubs, labels, sleeves and boxes. Our products are sold to nationwide retailers, to club stores and in food service. Because we do very little advertising our gourmet food coupled with great packaging is the only way to reach our customers. Nancy is very artistic, creative, able to keep short time lines and always accommodating to our many last minute projects."
"Thank you for the copies of the GuideLines. We just got them today. What a pleasure to share the Guide's work in such an inspiring, interesting, and beautifully designed newsletter. We can't wait to read the articles..."
"These designs look great!! Thanks for doing such an awesome job so quickly!!"
"Thanks for calling. It was lovely to talk to you. I am so glad all is going so well. You are a brilliant designer; I will never forget my Atmospherics designs!"
"The artwork is FANTASTIC!!!!! We are all very excited!!!"
"We have had the pleasure of working with Hula Girl Design on a daily basis for several years and continue to be amazed by the variety and quality of work Nancy and her team produce. They take the time to really understand our business and our needs and consistently deliver exactly what we are looking for in a timely manner!"
"We've worked with Hula Girl Design for over 7 years and have been consistently dazzled. Nancy and staff have developed over 300 products and 28 different catalogs for us - each one seems to top the last! The design expertise, efficiency in production, and the ease in which we work with Hula Girl has made them our exclusive choice for a design team."
"For over four years, Nancy's insight has provided us with clear direction, quick turnaround and the best creative! Her team provides formidable service while running at internet speed. I've done the overcharging "Wilshire agency" routine before, and believe me, Hula Girl Design will get you more bang for the buck!"
"Nancy and her team are the perfect adjunct to our marketing department and are an integral part of our every day process. Their expertise in package design, collateral development or basic merchandising has proved invaluable to Cantaré Foods. I would highly recommend them to any company."
"We have worked with many design firms over the years. Working with Hula Girl Design has been such a pleasure for our production department, because we know that when we get their files, they will be set up perfectly. They really understand the printing process and that makes our job a lot easier. Besides their work is so great looking ... it really makes it a pleasure."
"We print many labels for at least 2 of Hula Girl Design's clients. Besides being creative and well designed, the files are always set up correctly. It's easy for our pre-press to follow though because Hula Girl is so organized. Even when it's a rush job! Besides we like their work so much, we have recommended them to our clients. Now that's saying something!"
"Just wanted to say thanks for the great design. Been passing it around ... and they all think it is "brilliant" ... makes my job much easier!! You guys rock!!!"
