How to Commission a Custom Piece from Designs-by-Jon (Without the Stress)

An Easy, Inspiring Guide to Bringing Your Vision to Life—No Art Degree Required

Commissioning custom artwork might sound intimidating—like something reserved for collectors or high-end interior designers. But at Designs-by-Jon.com, the process is refreshingly simple, personal, and stress-free. Whether you're ordering a gift, memorial, portrait, or brand piece, Jon has designed every step to be collaborative, clear, and even fun.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love something custom—but I have no idea how this works,” this guide is for you. Let’s walk through the stress-free steps to getting your own meaningful, handcrafted masterpiece from Jon.

🧭 Step 1: Get Inspired, Not Overwhelmed

You don’t need a perfect plan—you just need a feeling, a story, or an idea.

Start by asking yourself:

• Who is this for?

• What moment, memory, or message do I want captured?

• Are there any photos, symbols, or colors that matter?

Client Example:
Lauren didn’t know what she wanted—just that she missed her childhood home. She sent Jon a photo and mentioned the cherry tree in the front yard. Jon included the tree in full bloom and even added her childhood bike leaning on the porch.

Pro Tip: Jon loves working with scraps of ideas—photos, quotes, even playlists. They become the DNA of your custom art.

✍️ Step 2: Reach Out with a Quick Brief

Head to Designs-by-Jon.com and use the Contact or Commission Request Form. You’ll be asked a few friendly questions like:

• What type of piece are you looking for?

• Who is it for?

• Any must-have details or images?

Jon personally reviews every request and responds within 24–48 hours.

Quote from Jon:
“I don’t expect clients to talk like designers. I translate their story into visual language.”

💬 Step 3: Have a Quick Conversation (Optional but Powerful)

For more personal pieces, Jon may schedule a short call or exchange emails to understand the emotion and message behind your request. This is where the magic begins—when he uncovers details you didn’t even know mattered.

Example: A pet owner mentioned in passing that their dog loved chasing squirrels. That tiny detail became a hidden element in the background, bringing the scene to life.

🎨 Step 4: Relax While Jon Works His Magic

Once he’s gathered the vision, Jon starts sketching. You’ll receive:

• A rough draft to approve or revise

• A moodboard or color sample (for some projects)

• Progress updates, depending on the size of the project

Average turnaround time: 5–10 business days, depending on complexity.

Stat: According to a 2024 client survey, 96% of Jon’s clients said the process felt easier than expected.

✅ Step 5: Review and Refine (Without Feeling Awkward)

Jon welcomes feedback. You can ask for changes—whether it’s:

• Adjusting a color

• Replacing a background object

• Adding text or inscriptions

No eye-rolls. No “that’s extra.” Just collaboration.

Client Review:
“I changed my mind twice about the layout and Jon was kind and encouraging the whole time. The final result was better than I imagined.”

🎁 Step 6: Receive Your Custom Artwork

You’ll receive your completed piece in your chosen format:

• Digital High-Resolution File (great for printing at home or using online)

• Framed or Unframed Physical Print (shipped to your door)

• Special formats like canvas, stationery, or logo files (by request)

Jon packages every piece with care—and often includes a short note or story about the design.

💡 Common Questions (Answered!)
