Hey Reddit, I'm Rish. I've spent 6+ years doing design work for startups, clothing lines, and music events everything from logo systems to full merch drops.
Instead of just dropping links, here's what actually matters when you're hiring a designer:
My process (the part most designers skip): Before I touch Illustrator, I'm asking who your audience is and why they'll care. I've seen too many pretty logos that completely miss the demographic. Strategy first, aesthetics second.
Recent work: • \[Hexwreks\](https://www.behance.net/gallery/195539453/Hexwerks-Logo-Brand-Visuals-Lighting-brand) - Logo & brand visuals for a lighting company • \[Dsplace\](https://www.behance.net/gallery/242361803/Dsplace-Official-Apparel-Headwear-Collection) - Full apparel & headwear collection • \[Sinistarr\](https://www.behance.net/gallery/210015001/Sinistarr-Music-Event-Poster-Design) - Music event poster series • \[Full portfolio \](https://www.behance.net/graphiccookinglab)
Rates (transparent because hidden pricing wastes everyone's time): • Logo design: 300 flat (includes 2 revision rounds)
• Identity systems, apparel, posters:40/hr
How I work: Clear timeline before we start, updates every 2-3 days, no ghosting for two weeks mid-project.
Payment via PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer (50% upfront for new clients).
Currently booking: One-off projects or ongoing retainer work.
