Licensing FAQs
Do you license your surface pattern designs and illustrations?
Yes, my designs are available to license and I love seeing my designs out there in the world! Licenses are non-exclusive. The license will also specify the time period, territory and product category covered by the license.
Please note: when you license a design, you are licensing only the use of that design for your products in accordance with the terms of the licensing agreement. I retain all copyright and ownership to the design, and to any derivative or modified designs; and I can license the design to other licensees and sell it in my Shops. You do not need to credit me as the designer, but it’s always appreciated!
How much does it cost to license one of your designs?
In short, that depends. It depends on the complexity and popularity of the design you wish to license, on the scope of the license, and on other factors. Also, I can usually offer “bulk” discounts if you would like to license 5 designs or more at one time. I understand that every project is different, so just contact me to discuss your particular needs and I will do what I can to accommodate you.
How will I pay the licensing fee?
I charge a flat fee which is payable once we have signed the licensing agreement. This fee is NON-refundable once I send the artwork file to you. In some cases, I will also accept royalties based on sales, usually with a non-refundable advance.
What if I want an exclusive design?
Many of my current designs are already offered for sale in my various Shops, have been shared on social media, have been used by small businesses to make products for sale, or have been licensed by other licensees. Therefore, I usually can’t offer you exclusivity on designs already in my portfolio.
But, if you would like an exclusive design, I can create one specifically for you! In this situation, I charge an hourly rate. Once complete, you would own the copyright to the design and I would not be able to use it for any other purpose.
What if I want to license a design, but I need it in another colourway or want some other changes?
You cannot modify a design except with my prior written approval. However, I can almost always accommodate colour revisions and even some design revisions to suit your needs, and usually charge an hourly rate to complete the changes for you. Just contact me to discuss what you want.
What are the technicalities?
I create my designs digitally in Adobe Illustrator. I can send you a JPG or PNG file. Files will be in RGB colour mode, 300 dpi. I can sometimes offer other options, but will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
How do I license your designs?
Just CONTACT ME with your details and we can go from there! I look forward to hearing from you!
