FAQ


Where are you based?
Waitaki Valley, North Otago, New Zealand

Do you travel?
I do! Projects have taken me from the Bay of Islands in the North, to Te Anau in the South.
Dependent on location, travel fees may apply. 


Do you charge by the hour or project rate?

Each project is unique, with its scope determining the approach. My rates reflect the full scope of each project - from consultation and concept development to delivery and usage rights. No hidden fees, no vague breakdowns. Reach out for a no-obligation estimate tailored to your creative vision.

I have a project in mind, but I have no idea where to start - can you help?
In most cases, yes, I can help. No idea or question is too small - feel free to ask! If there’s a part of your project beyond my expertise, I’ll gladly connect you with a trusted creative professional from my network or find a solution that fits.

I need to get my designs printed, but I don't speak the lingo - can you help?
Seeking help can be overwhelming when the process feels unfamiliar, but I’m here to make it simple and stress-free. From consultation to project completion, I’ll guide you through each step with clarity and support.

How long have you been in business?
I began my Sign Making Apprenticeship in 2002, honing a diverse set of skills while working in New Zealand and across Australia. In 2018, I established Dana Johnston Imagery, bringing together years of expertise to offer a refined selection of creative services.
