FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to use all of your services, or can I just pick one?

Just one is completely fine. Most clients start with a single project — a logo, a photo shoot, a social strategy — and add on from there once they see how it fits together. Nothing here requires an all-or-nothing package.

How is this different from hiring a freelancer?

A freelancer typically specializes in one thing. I bring 30 years across design, writing, video, and strategy — which means your brand voice, visuals, and messaging stay consistent across every piece, instead of feeling like they were made by five different people who never talked to each other.

What does a project typically cost?

It depends on scope — a logo project looks very different from an ongoing social media retainer. The best next step is a free Sandbox Session, where we talk through what you actually need and I'll give you a straight answer on cost before anything is signed.

How long do projects typically take?

A brand/logo project usually runs 2–4 weeks. Photography and video are often turned around within a week or two of the shoot. Ongoing services like social media management run monthly, with the first month typically focused on strategy and setup.

Do you work with businesses outside Charleston?

Yes — Charleston Sandbox serves small businesses across South Carolina. Most work can be done remotely, with in-person sessions and shoots available across the Lowcountry and beyond as needed.

FROM THE SANDBOX

WHO I AM

I've spent three decades in newsrooms, designing the look and building the strategy behind brands big and small. I've seen what works, what's a waste of money, and what small business owners get talked into that they never needed in the first place.

That's exactly why I started Charleston Sandbox.

Most agencies are built to keep you dependent. I built this one differently. You get direct access to someone who's actually done the work, not an account manager relaying messages from someone else's desk.

What that means for you:

- One experienced point of contact, not a rotating team of juniors

- Straight answers, not agency-speak

- A partner who tells your story honestly — because that's what actually builds trust with customers

- Real strategy shaped by 30 years of seeing what works, not what's trendy this quarter
