Who it's for

  • A funded startup or founder who needs product shipped, not just designed
  • Replacing a slow agency or a designer-plus-engineer hire with one senior pair of hands
  • Shipping an MVP, a design system, or a polished marketing site that has to feel finished

Not a fit if you want one-off logos, social templates, or somone to simply push pixels.

FAQ

Do you only design, or build too?

Both. That's the whole point. The design and the working product come from the same hands, so nothing gets lost between them.

What counts as one request?

A screen, a flow, a feature, a landing page, a component system, a discrete, shippable piece. Big things get broken into a sequence and shipped in order. If you're unsure, send it and I'll tell you straight away how I'd scope it.

How fast, and how does a request work?

Send it however's easiest, a Loom, a doc, a sketch. No forms, no intake call. Most requests ship in 2 to 4 working days, because I take one client at a time and your work isn't sitting behind anyone else's.

Can you work with my engineers or existing codebase?

Yes. I design in Figma and ship in React, Next and TypeScript, and I'm comfortable in an existing repo or design system, including keeping Figma and code in sync.

What if I run out of things to build?

Pause the plan. Billing freezes and picks up where it left off when you're ready.
