FAQ

Questions, answered

What kind of projects do you take on?

Early and growth-stage digital products: apps, platforms, design systems and the websites that sell them.

How long does a project take?

Strategy sprints run two to three weeks. Product design engagements usually run eight to twelve.

Do you work with in-house teams?

Most of the time. I slot in beside your product and engineering leads and leave the work in your tools.

What does it cost?

Fixed-price per phase, agreed before we start. Ask for the rate card and I'll send it the same day.

When can you start?

I take on two projects at a time. The current start date is shown at the top of the page.
