I know what it’s like to have big dreams but not enough money to make them happen. I’ve been there. That’s why I created Don’t Trip, I Gotchu — a donation-based, pay-what-you-want design service to help artists get their work out into the world.

You decide what you can afford to pay — no judgment.

All I ask is that you credit me and help spread the word by tagging me on:

How It Works:

To get started, you'll need to complete a short intake form so I can better understand your project. After that, a $1 security deposit is required to reserve your spot. The deposit is due when you sign the service agreement and must be received before any work begins.

Your project includes:

• 1 custom design — such as a book cover, music cover, flyer, poster, social media graphic, or simple one-page website — featuring up to three elements (scenery, font, object).

• 1 round of revisions is included to make sure you're happy with the final design.

Note: You'll first receive a watermarked preview. Once full payment is received, the final unwatermarked version will be delivered to you.

Turnaround time for your completed design is 7–14 business days.

This service is my way of giving back — just like others helped me when I was starting out.

Don’t trip, I gotchu!
