Custom Mural Process: From Concept to Final Installation

Creating a custom mural is a collaborative process designed to transform your space through thoughtful design, clear communication, and intentional craftsmanship. Below is a step-by-step look at what goes into bringing a mural from idea to finished wall. Custom designs start at $800.00

1. Initial Consultation & Vision Building

Every mural begins with a consultation. This is where we discuss your space, goals, and creative vision. We’ll talk through the mood you want to create, any brand or storytelling elements to include, color preferences, dimensions, and how the mural will interact with the environment it lives in.

Reference images, inspiration, and photos of the wall or space are especially helpful at this stage. This step ensures the artwork is rooted in both creative intention and real-world context from the start.

2. Concept Development & Drafts

Using insights from the consultation, I begin developing the mural concept. This phase includes sketching, composition planning, and exploring visual directions that align with your vision.

You’ll receive initial digital drafts to review. Feedback is an essential part of this stage—together we refine details such as layout, imagery, color palette, and overall flow. Revisions are made thoughtfully to ensure the final design feels cohesive, intentional, and true to the original concept.

3. Design Refinement & Final Artwork

Once the direction is approved, the mural artwork is fully refined and finalized. Every element is hand-drawn using a stylus and digital canvas, preserving a handmade look while allowing precision and scalability.

The final design is prepared at full scale and formatted specifically for large-format production. Care is taken to ensure clean lines, accurate colors, and high-resolution quality suitable for wall application.

4. Production Preparation & File Delivery

Murals are best applied using professionally printed vinyl, which offers durability, clarity, and a clean finish. While I do not handle the physical printing or installation, I prepare and deliver all necessary production-ready files.

I’m happy to collaborate with your selected printer or installer and can provide trusted recommendations if needed. This includes adjusting files as required to ensure the artwork prints and installs correctly on your wall.

5. Final Installation

Once files are delivered, a third-party printing and installation company will handle the vinyl production and wall application. This step brings the artwork fully into the physical space, transforming the environment while maintaining the integrity of the original design.

From consultation to final delivery, each mural is created with care, collaboration, and attention to detail—resulting in a custom artwork designed to feel intentional, immersive, and uniquely tailored to its space.
