4. Website Forms and Project Inquiries
Our website uses Squarespace to collect project inquiries and other messages.
When you submit a form, we use the information provided to review your request and respond appropriately.
Form submissions may be stored within Squarespace and delivered to our designated business email account.
Submitting a project inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to our newsletters or other promotional communications.

We use email to communicate with clients, collaborators, and people who request information about our services.

If you subscribe to or interact with the publication on Substack, your information may be processed through that platform. We may access subscriber and publication engagement information made available to publishers.
Substack's privacy policy is available at substack.com/privacy.
We respect subscriber preferences and do not treat a general project inquiry as permission to send unrelated marketing emails.
