contact me

How to start working with me as a graphic recorder, designer or illustrator.

1. Use the contact form below to let me know a little about your project. (Don’t like forms? Just email me at megan@vanderley.se.)

2. I will contact you to arrange a video meeting. (Don’t like phone calls or video meetings? We will just keep using email.)

3. We will pinpoint what you need, your deadline and your budget. If my skills are a good match for your problem, we’ll go on to the next step.

4. Creative brief: this is a document that specifies the details of our collaboration. It includes

  • timelines
  • exactly what will be delivered
  • limitations and requirements
  • licensing and
  • a price.

 

Once we agree on the brief, we can get to work! (Complex assignments will need a more formal contract.)

It’s easy.

Send me a quick message and you will be on your way to clearer and more effective communication.

"By lunchtime I could hardly remember what the morning presentations had been about. When the moderator recapped by showing your illustrations, it all came back to me."

sign up for my newsletter?

I send it about about once a month.

You’ll be the first to find out about my limited-offer deals and competitions.

(Because, as we all know, social media is a fickle friend.)

It’s personal and professional at the same time, with:

  • recent work
  • drawings and sketchbook pages
  • a few good links to things that are beautiful, thought-provoking or amusing and
  • a free image for use. 

I respect your privacy and will never ever share your information.
