WHATYOU NEED TO KNOWBEFORE WE START

Have queries?

Answers to the most common questions about partnering with us.

We start with a short call to understand scope, timeline and priorities. If it's a fit, we lock the engagement and start with a clear plan.

The person who leads the work stays involved throughout — no handoffs, no layered communication.

Design, direction and iteration inside the agreed scope — brand, web or product work depending on the plan.

We adjust scope together before continuing. No silent overages, no unclear extensions.

Yes. Engagements run month to month with 30 days' notice. Longer setups can flex if priorities shift.

We handle the work, but key decisions stay collaborative. Regular check-ins keep things aligned without slowing progress.

Clarity on goals, access to existing materials, and a single point of contact. We structure the rest together.
