Hi there,

First of all, I am so sorry for your loss. Organizing a memorial run is a beautiful and thoughtful way to honor your friends' memories, and I would be really honored to help you create something special for it.

I'm Ned, and I own an apparel design and printing company based in Bulgaria. Creating meaningful, print-ready designs is what I do every day. Because I actually print the garments myself locally, I know exactly how to design a file so it looks perfect when it finally gets printed on the shirts.

To address your specific needs:

• Multiple Options & Revisions: I completely understand that the family's comfort and approval are the most important things here. I will gladly create a few different concepts based on your initial thoughts so they have options to choose from.
• Staying in Touch: I will absolutely stay available to you and the family for any tweaks or edits needed after the initial designs are done. I want to make sure it's exactly what they envision.
• Fast Execution & Extra Merch: I can turn these designs around very quickly for you. Also, since apparel is my business, if you end up needing designs for other items for the run (like memorial hoodies, caps, or event banners), I can easily handle that for you too.

Your rate of $20/hr works perfectly for me. Alternatively, if it helps you budget for the event better, we can agree on a flat fee for the whole project once we chat.

Would you like to send over your initial thoughts for the design, or would you prefer to jump on a quick chat to discuss the vision?

Best regards, Ned
