COMMISsIONS FAQ

Most commissions take 5 to 6 weeks from our first conversation to delivery. If you're working against a deadline, rush timelines as short as 2 weeks may be possible. Just let Sophia know upfront.

Commissions are the heart and soul of Sophia's work. Please review our terms:

  • A $200 non-refundable remittance is due upon planning, and is used towards the price of your piece.
  • Upon approval of design and budget, 1/2 of the final price is due to Sophia Forero Designs, and 1/2 is due upon delivery.
  • All payments are non-refundable. If you change your mind about the commission, whatever you have paid is good only for credit for 60 days.
