  • All project specifications* must be confirmed before work begins
    *As reflected in my work examples, I may incorporate light stylistic formatting or brief contextual commentary for tone or comedic effect. If the Client prefers a strictly professional, neutral caption file with no added commentary, this must be specified before the project begins.

2. PAYMENTS
