Process of a Collaboration
I collaborate with brands in two main ways: licensing and custom design. You can find more details about the process below.
Custom Design
If the brand would like to commission custom work, please contact the designer to confirm the schedule and collaboration terms.
Collaboration terms include:
1. Scope of work and schedules. This includes:
-
Final deliveries and revision rounds.
-
Deliverables for each project stage, timeline
-
Details on feedback, approvals, and delivery deadlines
2. Project Fees. This includes:
-
Production fee. This fee is charge by project.
-
License fee.
-
Extra modification fees. These apply when the project scope changes or when additional revision rounds occur.
3. Payment structure.
An upfront payment is required.
A percentage of the project fee will be charged if the project is cancelled early.
Details will be determined by the specific project.
Licensing
If the brand would like to use existing designs, please contact the designer to confirm availability and licensing terms.
The Licensing Agreement includes:
1. The licensed designs and the required formats
2. License scope
-
Usage of the designs
-
Scope of the license, including whether it is exclusive and the extent of exclusiveness
-
License duration (typically 1 or 2 years)
-
License are non-licensable.
3. License fees and payment structure
A licensing fee can be charged as either a one-time fixed fee or a variable royalty.
-
Royalty. Royalties are paid based on product sales, either at a flat or tiered royalty rate, and include advance payment.
-
Fixed Licensed Fee. A one-time licensing fee is paid upon signing the contract.
4. Modification Fee.
If the licensed design requires additional designs or modifications, an extra fee will be charged.
