Sliding Scale Pricing

This is how I align my values and ethics with my business practices.

We’re here to create work that matters, and I believe that starts with transparent rates.

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, so the sliding scale sets guidelines for paying me based on ability to pay.

My goal is to be fair and not make my clients feel exploited nor feel exploited by them in return.

A full financial picture doesn’t exist in a vacuum, so your rate takes into account other circumstances.
