Frequently Asked Questions
-
Most designers hand you screens. I hand you decisions. I research before I design, I ask why before I ask what, and I stay long enough to see if it actually worked. I've spent my career designing for teams doing work that matters: research tools, advocacy platforms, products built to change minds and improve lives. I'm a thinking partner who happens to be very good at design.
-
I start by understanding the problem before touching any screens. That usually means a kickoff call, reviewing what exists, and asking a lot of questions. From there I work in short cycles (design, share, refine) so nothing sits in a vacuum for weeks. I stay in your tools and communicate like a teammate.
-
It means I'm part of your team on a part-time basis. You get a dedicated designer who knows your product deeply, without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Most clients are on a monthly retainer with a set number of hours per week.
-
Yes, if the problem is real and there's genuine investment in design. My best work happens when I have a PM or founder to think alongside.
-
Primarily B2B SaaS, research tools, and data-heavy products. I'm especially drawn to mission-driven organizations like nonprofits, advocacy groups, and social impact companies.
-
Retainers start at $2,000/month for 20 hours. Research & design partnerships start at $1,500/month. One-time audits and sprints run $1,500–$3,000 flat. Rates are based on $100–$125/hr depending on scope and commitment length.
-
With a 30-minute intro call. We talk through what you're working on, what's not working, and whether we're a good fit. If it makes sense, I'll put together a proposal within a few days.
-
Occasionally, but my focus is long-term partnerships. If you're looking for a one-time sprint or audit, I'm open to it, especially if there's potential to keep working together afterward.
