Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

What materials do you work with?

Wood, MDF board, plaster, acrylic, resin, silicone, and other non-metal materials. Have something special in mind, just ask. I’ll let you know if I can work with it.

What kind of things do you make?

I make medals to be hung on ribbons or cord, table top awards, magnet and bottle opener awards, sculpture awards, laser cut stuff, age group awards, overall awards, sales excellence awards, best friend gifts… You name it, I can make something special for it.

Do you have minimum quantities?

Not really. I’d be happy to make a one-of-a-kind award, medal holding rack, or birthday gift award, but it may be more expensive than if you were to order 100. The reason is, I need to factor in the time required for design, digital file development, and machine set up. When you order higher quantities, those costs are absorbed into the cost and spread out over the larger quantity. But when you order just one, those costs are pretty obvious.

What is the largest quantity of awards for a client you have made to date?

263

What is your lead time- how long do you need to make awards?

The sooner you tell me you need awards, the better. That way I can plan ahead and block time for you.

I like to have 4 to 6 weeks after deposit so I can schedule appropriate time for your project. However, reach out even if you need something quickly, I’ve been known to squeeze in projects.

How do you charge?

I charge for design/set up fees and time on the machine. If you need delivery or shipping, I will charge that too. I will always give you an estimate upfront and I will always design within your budget.

No matter your budget, I will make you something badass!

What is the process?

  1. Reach out to me with your ideas, any sketches, the event date, about how many you need, budget, and project due date. Let me know if you need shipping.

  2. I’ll sketch some designs for you and list out materials. I’ll also provide you with a price range.

  3. If you like a sketch, I’ll digitize it and send it to you for approval along with a finalized price. We will also work out all delivery details now.

  4. Upon 25% deposit, I’ll get started. I’ll send progress photos along the way and if you want, I’ll share those photos on my social media with links to promote your event.

  5. Final payment is due before delivery and you will be super HAPPY and THRILLED with your order! I promise!
