How I work

  1. 1.I'll be your design partner.

    I'll help you dig into the problem space, narrow down which areas are worth pursuing, and ideate the options with you. Then we stay focused on delivering the best of them.

  2. 2.I'll work inside your team.

    I'm in your Slack/Teams and in the meetings that matter. There's no long ramp-up and no briefing document to write first. I pick the context up as we go and start being useful in the first week.

  3. 3.One flat weekly rate, and nothing is out of scope.

    No renegotiating when the problem turns out to be a different problem. We spend each week on whatever moves the product furthest.

  4. 4.Start to shipped.

    Framing the problem, exploring it, designing it, and building it with your engineers until it's live. I'm still there afterwards to see how it lands.
